Radiator Replacement / Repairing London
Before we’re in the midst of winter, it’s always advisable to put your central heating system through its paces to make sure all is working efficiently when the cold months bite!
Fire up the boiler system and test to see if the heating and hot water come on and go off as per your clock timer settings. When the system has been running long enough for the radiators to heat up, check each radiator in turn, to see if they are giving the required heat.
You probably turned the heating off during the summer months, which sometimes causes air to be trapped (air lock) in the system causing radiators to be warm at the bottom and cold/tepid at the top. This can be simply rectified by ‘bleeding’ each radiator in turn by the radiator valve situated on the top of the radiator, either on the right of left of it.
However, there are other reasons why your radiators are not giving heat. It could be a build up (over time) of ‘‘gloopy’ sludge, debris (scale/rust) or its age that’s preventing the hot water circulating efficiently. This means certain areas of the radiator aren’t receiving the supply needed to heat up.
This ‘debris’ needs to be removed from the guilty radiator/s otherwise heating bills could soar? If your experiencing cold spots and your system is quite old then a ‘power flush’ would cleanse the system of any unwanted particles or sludge.Upon completion of the power flush and when the system is nice and clean, we recommend the installation of a ‘system filter’ (magnetic) to keep the system free of any water borne particles from reaching the internal working of your boiler or clogging radiators.
If you are experiencing any problems with your radiators or the system in general, then call serviceteam Ltd. or use our online platform to book an appointment. If you call, one of our helpful advisors will be able to discuss the options available to fix the problem or provide a ‘fixed price’ quotation for the works.

FAQs
Q: Can I replace a radiator?
A: Replacing a radiator requires a careful approach. To replace a radiator, first turn off the central heating system. Then turn off the lockshield valves at each end of the radiator. This stops the water from circulating the radiator. The only water to deal with is now ‘trapped’ inside it. Beneath each radiator connection (you are going to loosen) place enough rags to soak up any water likely to spill. The water maybe decoloured and dirty so avoid contact with the carpet. The radiator rest on two brackets screwed to the wall. Each bracket has an elongated slit in it to receive the brackets on the rear of the radiator. When the nuts attached to the pipework and radiator have been slackened, the radiator has to be raised slightly to disengage it from the wall brackets and then pulled towards you, lowering it to an angle below 45 degrees, so the top of the radiator reast on the floor. The water will now flow to the top of the radiator (touching the floor) and away from the bottom connections eliminating any excessive leaks, but some water may still exit from each connection. When fully disconnected from the pipework raise the radiator to 90 degrees (it is now upside down) and remove outside. The radiator can now be drained and is ready for disposal. When installing the new radiator reverse the process. When the radiator is correctly positioned on the wall mounted brackets, wrap some pipe fitter tape round the threads and tighten the nuts. The joints should be watertight. Open the lockshield valves (anti clockwise) you will hear a ‘hissing’ sound as the water fills the radiator. Any water ‘weeping’ from the connecting nuts indicates they need another turn to ‘pinch’ them tight. Remember a radiator full of treated water will be replaced with fresh clean (untreated) water. It is recommended that a fair dose of an inhibitor is introduced to the system to prevent corrosion etc. Turn on the system, bleed the radiator to remove any air. The new radiator should heat up in the normal way.
Q: Do I need a professional to install a radiator?
A: Well, we recommend you use serviceteam Ltd. (of course we would) to replace a radiator as it is a routine job for us. Our professional plumbing team will complete the job in a couple of hours. Plus, you get 12 months workmanship and part guarantees
Q: How much does a serviceteam charge for replacing a radiator?
A: The average cost for replacing a radiator is circa £100 and £200.
Q: How long does a radiator last?
A: An average radiator lasts from about 10 to 12 years, however, if it is maintained well and kept in a good working condition (with inhibitor) it can survive more than its average life.

Choose your preferred method?
If not now but certainly in the future you’re likely to have something in your home or premises that needs repairing or replacing? When you do we have various ways we can approach your job;
Serviceteam completes so many jobs during a year that we can often provide you with a fixed price for the works without attending Other jobs require am enquiry to be raised, so we can compile a quotation. Any photos provided will help us to assess requirements. If your project is large or complex, we will assign one of our qualified engineers to visit and prepare a detailed quotation. Alternatively, you can select serviceteam’s Pay by Time option, certainly if you have an emergency or a “to do” list made up of one or several minor jobs. When on site our engineer will appraise the works required and give an indication of how long the works are expected to take. If we are unable to complete the works within the first visit due to the need for extra time or materials, then we will provide you with a fixed price quotation for the extended works for consideration and authorization before proceeding.
Enquiries can be logged through our website, email, WhatsApp or by calling 020 3538 7067.

If we are unable to accommodate your job at the time requested, due to high demands on our resources, we will be in touch with alternative dates.

How do refunds work?

What if I want to cancel the appointment?

Should this be the case please let us know as soon as possible so we can make the necessary alterations to our work schedules.

Do I need to provide parking?

The quote we have provided does not include the cost of parking and/or congestion charge which will be added to the final invoice (if applicable). Please inform your personal account manager if any special parking instructions like parking permit/free parking can be provided. For properties on the rim of the congestion zone and it is not possible for our engineer to attend without entering/clipping the charge zone, we may need to add the charge to the final bill ? Please check with your personal account manager in advance of your appointment if you’re not sure?
