Bitterne Park has a distinctive mix of larger Edwardian and 1930s semi-detached homes, particularly around the tree-lined streets near Cobden Bridge and along Cobden Avenue. These properties often have older heating systems that have been modified over the years, which can create complications when something goes wrong.
One of the most common jobs I get called for in Bitterne Park is a boiler that's losing pressure or a system with cold radiators at the top, often a sign of air locks or sludge build-up that's been developing for years. In most cases, bleeding the radiators and a system flush resolves it without a major repair bill.

“We were able to book Wes promptly after moving in to a new house to service the two boilers. He was efficient, professional and tidied up after he had finished. Reasonable charge too.”

Yes, period properties make up a large proportion of the homes I work on in Bitterne Park. I'm experienced with gravity-fed systems, older copper pipework, and the kind of modified heating layouts common in homes of this era.
Yes. Power flushing is one of the most effective ways to restore heating efficiency in older systems. If you have radiators that are cooler than they should be or a heating system that takes a long time to warm up, a power flush often makes a significant improvement.
An annual boiler service includes a full safety inspection, cleaning of internal components, a flue integrity check, a gas pressure and flow rate test, and a report on the boiler's condition. The service costs £85 and I carry it out across Bitterne Park throughout the year.
