Bitterne has a varied mix of housing, from 1930s and 1950s semi-detached properties to more modern developments off Mousehole Lane and along the Itchen waterfront. Many of the older homes have had several boiler changes over the decades, and I'm familiar with the common issues that come with ageing pipework and corroded system components.
I carry out a lot of work in and around the Bitterne Precinct area and the residential streets running down toward the River Itchen. Sludge build-up in older systems is one of the most common things I find, a power flush usually makes a significant difference to heating efficiency and often cures cold radiators that have been a problem for years.

“Wes diagnosed and then replaced a faulty valve on my heating system that was leaking. Excellent, reliable and prompt. Finding a local, knowledgeable and dependable heating engineer is something worth knowing about.”
“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.”
“We have used Wes on more than one occasion and he has always provided a prompt, efficient service. When Wes says he has fixed a problem, it stays fixed.”

Yes, Bitterne and the surrounding SO18 postcode is one of my most regular areas. I cover all streets in and around Bitterne including Mousehole Lane, West End Road, and the residential areas close to the River Itchen.
Cold at the top and warm at the bottom usually means trapped air in the system, the radiators need bleeding. If bleeding doesn't fix it, or it keeps happening, there may be a larger issue with the system pressure or a faulty pump. I can diagnose and resolve this in a single visit in most cases.
Yes, this is one of the most common jobs I attend across Bitterne and east Southampton. A boiler that repeatedly loses pressure usually has a small leak somewhere in the system, often at a radiator valve or a concealed joint. I'll find it, fix it, and re-pressurise the system in one visit.
