A heating system that works properly is something you take for granted — every room reaches a comfortable temperature, the hot water arrives when you turn the tap, and the bills stay reasonable. When the system starts underperforming — radiators that stay cold at the top or bottom, rooms that never seem to warm up, a system that takes an hour to heat a three bedroom house, strange noises from the pipework, or energy bills that keep climbing without explanation — the daily frustration builds until you do something about it.
We install, repair, and maintain central heating systems across the Medway Towns, handling everything from single radiator replacements and valve fitting through to complete system design and installation for whole properties, extensions, and renovations. We diagnose heating problems accurately, explain what’s causing the issue in plain language, and carry out the repair or upgrade that solves it permanently.
Whether you need a radiator added to a room that’s always cold, a power flush to restore circulation in a sluggish system, thermostatic valves for individual room control, or a complete new heating system designed from scratch, we deliver it to Gas Safe standards with full certification. Contact us to discuss your heating needs.
Whether you need a new radiator in a room that doesn’t have one, a larger unit to replace one that’s undersized for the space, or modern replacements throughout the house as part of a system upgrade, we install radiators across the Medway Towns with the pipework, valves, and connections to match. We size every radiator correctly for the room it serves — accounting for room dimensions, window area, insulation levels, and the room’s position in the property — so the radiator delivers enough heat without the boiler working harder than it needs to. Incorrectly sized radiators are one of the most common causes of heating dissatisfaction across Medway’s housing stock. We install column radiators, panel radiators, vertical designer radiators, and heated towel rails, connecting each to your existing system or new pipework as the project requires.
Over years of use, central heating systems accumulate iron oxide sludge, limescale, and debris that settles in radiators and pipework, restricting water flow and reducing heat output. The symptoms are familiar — radiators cold at the bottom despite bleeding, cold spots across the panel, a system that takes progressively longer to heat the house, and boiler noise caused by restricted circulation. Power flushing pushes high-velocity water and cleaning chemicals through the entire system, dislodging and removing the accumulated deposits that years of corrosion have created. The result is restored circulation, even heat distribution, quieter operation, and improved boiler efficiency. We carry out power flushing across the Medway Towns on all types of central heating system. Older systems across Gillingham, Chatham, and Rochester that have run for decades without flushing respond particularly well to the treatment.
If you’re building an extension, converting a loft, renovating a property, or simply replacing a heating system that’s reached the end of its useful life, we design and install complete central heating systems across the Medway Towns. System design starts with calculating the heat loss for every room — accounting for room size, insulation, glazing, and exposure — then specifying radiators, pipework, and boiler output to match. The result is a system where every room reaches its target temperature efficiently without the boiler oversizing or undersizing for the demand. We install pipework in copper or plastic depending on the application, fit radiators with thermostatic valves for individual room control, and commission the completed system with full balancing so heat distributes evenly throughout the property.
Fitting thermostatic radiator valves across your heating system gives you individual control over every room’s temperature without adjusting the boiler. Rooms you use less — spare bedrooms, utility rooms — run at lower temperatures while living spaces and bathrooms stay comfortable. The energy saving is genuine because the boiler isn’t heating rooms to the same temperature regardless of whether anyone’s using them. We fit TRVs across the Medway Towns as a standalone upgrade or as part of a wider heating improvement. Combined with a modern room thermostat and programmable timer — or a smart thermostat with app control and learning capability — TRVs give you precise, efficient control over your heating that reduces bills without reducing comfort.
Heating work demands an engineer who understands systems as a whole rather than treating individual components in isolation. A cold radiator might indicate a faulty valve, a circulation problem, a sludge blockage, an incorrectly balanced system, or an undersized boiler struggling to meet demand. Diagnosing correctly requires understanding how every element connects and affects the others. Replacing a radiator when the actual problem is system sludge wastes money and leaves the underlying issue unresolved. We diagnose heating problems properly, explain what we’ve found, and carry out the work that addresses the actual cause.
We provide clear, detailed quotes for every heating project specifying radiators, pipework, valves, controls, and all associated labour. You know exactly what you’re paying for before we start. Every gas-related heating installation and repair is carried out to Gas Safe standards with appropriate certification.
We carry out heating work throughout the Medway Towns and surrounding Kent, covering Gillingham, Chatham, Rochester, Strood, Rainham, Walderslade, Lordswood, Wigmore, Hempstead, Parkwood, Sittingbourne, Maidstone, Gravesend, and surrounding areas.
Your boiler is the engine driving your central heating system, and if it’s struggling, the best radiators and pipework in the world won’t compensate. We install, service, and repair boilers across the Medway Towns, working with all major manufacturers including Worcester Bosch, Vaillant, Baxi, and Ideal. Whether you need an emergency repair, a planned replacement for a boiler that’s costing more in repairs than it’s worth, or a new installation sized correctly for your updated heating system, we handle the complete process from assessment through to Gas Safe certification and warranty registration.
If your heating upgrade includes adding a heated towel rail in the bathroom or you’re planning a bathroom renovation alongside the heating work, we handle both as part of the same project. We carry out complete bathroom installations across the Medway Towns, managing first fix plumbing, waste routing, waterproofing, and sanitaryware fitting. Coordinating the heating and bathroom work under one plumber means the towel rail connects to the system at the right point in the programme and the bathroom plumbing integrates seamlessly with the wider heating installation.
When your heating fails on the coldest night of the year, a radiator starts leaking uncontrollably, or a pipe in the heating system bursts, you need a plumber who responds quickly. We provide emergency plumbing and heating services across the Medway Towns, responding to boiler breakdowns, burst heating pipes, major leaks, and any situation where your heating system has failed and the household is without warmth or hot water. We diagnose accurately, repair permanently where possible, and confirm pricing before work begins so you know the cost before we proceed.
