A heating system is easy to ignore until the day it stops. Then it is the coldest room in the house, a radiator that will not warm up, or a boiler making a noise like a kettle. We are the people you call to put it right, and to keep it running so it does not let you down in the first place.
We are a team of heating engineers covering the whole of Greater Manchester. From our base at Vantage Quay near the city centre we work on every kind of system the region throws at us: the old open-vented setups still common in Victorian terraces, the sealed pressurised systems in newer builds, and everything in between. The city's housing stock is a mix of solid-wall terraces, draughty semis and modern flats, and each heats differently, so we do not turn up with a single fix in mind.
What our heating engineers do
Most of our heating work falls into a few areas, and we cover all of them.
- No heat or intermittent heat, where the boiler fires but the house stays cold, or the heating comes and goes for no obvious reason.
- Cold radiators and cold spots, from a quick bleed to a full diagnosis of why one room never warms up.
- Sludge and circulation problems, the black gunk that clogs radiators and shortens the life of a pump and boiler.
- Pumps, valves and controls, the parts that quietly wear out and leave you with heating that runs when it should not or not when it should.
- Radiator moves, additions and upgrades, for extensions, loft conversions and rooms that have always been cold.
Whatever the fault, we diagnose before we quote, and we tell you what it will cost before we pick up a spanner. For new radiators, moves and swaps, see our radiator installation manchester service. When the water in the system itself is the problem, full of black sludge and circulating badly, our power flush manchester service cleans the whole thing through and protects the boiler.
For bigger jobs we design and fit complete systems too. Our central heating installation manchester service covers full installs and conversions, from first-time gas central heating to replacing a tired system top to bottom. And if you are extending or renovating and want warm floors instead of wall space given over to radiators, we fit wet and electric underfloor heating manchester as well.
Hot water and cylinders
Heat and hot water go together, and cylinders are a common weak point in older Manchester homes. A tired vented cylinder, a failing immersion heater or a home that would run better on an unvented cylinder are all jobs we handle. Our hot water cylinder replacement manchester service covers swapping old cylinders, fitting high-pressure unvented cylinders for stronger showers, and replacing immersion heaters that have stopped earning their keep.
The boiler at the centre
The boiler is the heart of the heating system, and a heating problem is often really a boiler problem, or the other way round. If you are weighing up a new one, our boiler installation manchester side sizes and fits combi, system and regular boilers across the region. Getting the boiler and the system matched properly is what stops you paying to heat a house that never quite feels warm.
We also handle the annual gas checks that keep everything safe and legal. Any gas work, including boiler servicing and safety checks, is carried out by Gas Safe registered engineers, and you can read more about that side on our gas engineer manchester page.
Controls that save you money
You can have the best boiler in the world and still waste money if the controls are wrong. A lot of Manchester homes still run on a single ancient thermostat and a clock timer, heating the whole house to the same temperature whether anyone is in or not. We fit modern programmers, room thermostats, thermostatic radiator valves and smart controls so you heat the rooms you use, when you use them. It is one of the cheapest upgrades going and it pays for itself. Our smart thermostat installation service covers Nest, Hive, Tado and the rest, fitted and set up properly.
Servicing and prevention
The cheapest heating repair is the one you never need. A yearly service, an inhibitor top-up and a clean filter catch the small problems before they become a cold January morning with no heat and a big bill. We would far rather book you a quiet autumn service than turn out to a total breakdown in the depths of winter. If your heating does fail completely in cold weather, that counts as an emergency, and our emergency plumber manchester service answers day and night.

Frequently asked questions
Why is one radiator cold at the top?
A radiator cold at the top usually has trapped air and needs bleeding, which is a quick fix. A radiator cold at the bottom is a different problem, usually sludge sitting in the base, and often points to a system that would benefit from a power flush. We can tell which it is on a visit and sort it the same day where possible.
How often should central heating be serviced?
Once a year for the boiler, ideally before winter, which keeps it safe and holds the warranty. The wider system benefits from an inhibitor top-up and a filter clean at the same time. Catching a weak pump or a tired valve in autumn is far better than losing all your heat in a January cold snap.
What is a power flush and do I need one?
A power flush pushes water and cleaning chemicals through the system at pressure to clear out the black sludge that builds up over years. You may need one if radiators are cold at the bottom, the boiler is noisy, or the system is slow to warm. We assess first rather than sell one to every customer, because not every system needs it.
Can you move or add a radiator?
Yes. We move radiators to make room for kitchens and furniture, add them to cold rooms and loft conversions, and swap old panels for modern efficient ones. We check the boiler and pump can handle any extra load first so you do not end up robbing heat from the rest of the house.
Do you fit heating controls and smart thermostats?
We fit programmers, room thermostats, thermostatic radiator valves and smart controls like Nest and Hive. Good controls are one of the cheapest ways to cut a heating bill, because you stop paying to heat rooms and hours you do not use.
