Decades of Experience in the Plumbing and Heating Industry

What We Repair: Common Central Heating Faults
When your central heating system shows signs of failure, prompt and accurate diagnosis is essential. Our engineers use advanced diagnostic tools and years of hands-on experience to pinpoint faults quickly. We routinely address the following issues:
- Unresponsive or inaccurate thermostats
- Cold or unevenly heated radiators
- Banging, whistling, or gurgling pipe noises
- Circulation pump failures
- Blocked or sludge-filled pipework
- Broken motorised valves
- Airlocks in the system
- Pressure drops and leaks
- Boiler ignition or safety control malfunctions
We aim to carry out immediate repairs where possible, minimising downtime and disruption to your routine.
Accredited Boiler Repairs and Servicing
A significant number of central heating repairs in Melksham are related to boiler issues. We are proud to be accredited installers and service engineers for Worcester Bosch, Vaillant, and Viessmann—three of the UK’s most reputable boiler manufacturers. Our engineers are extensively trained to identify and resolve problems across these and other boiler brands.
Routine boiler servicing is vital to maintaining a safe and efficient heating system. We provide comprehensive inspections that include safety checks, flue assessments, pressure testing, and cleaning of essential internal components. Preventative servicing can help avoid future breakdowns and extend the lifespan of your system.
Radiator Repairs and Power Flushing Services
Radiators play a central role in the distribution of heat throughout your property. If you are experiencing cold spots, leaks, or inefficient heating, our team will inspect and diagnose the underlying cause. We perform radiator repairs in Melksham, replacing valves, bleeding airlocks, and resolving circulation issues.
In cases of sludge or debris build-up, we may recommend power flushing, a deep-cleaning method that restores proper flow and significantly improves overall system performance. This process is particularly useful in older systems or those that have not been serviced regularly.
