The boiler make and model, any fault code on the display, what it was doing before it stopped and roughly how old it is. A photo of the boiler and its gauge helps. Include your road in Carshalton so we can plan the visit.
Low pressure often points to a leak in the heating system, a failed expansion vessel or a faulty pressure relief valve. Scale and a failed pump are other common causes. The River Wandle rises at Carshalton Ponds, so properties near the village can have damp that is not a plumbing fault.

A pressure drop usually means water is escaping somewhere: a radiator valve, a joint, the pressure relief valve or a failing expansion vessel. Topping up only hides it. We trace where the water goes and repair the cause. Homes in Carshalton include period cottages and houses around the ponds and a wide mix of suburban homes around Carshalton Beeches.
It could be trapped air, sludge in the system, a stuck valve or a failed pump. Bleeding a radiator solves some cases. If not, we check the pump, valves and circulation to find the real cause. Homes in Carshalton include period cottages and houses around the ponds and a wide mix of suburban homes around Carshalton Beeches.
Kettling is a rumbling or whistling noise, usually from scale or sludge restricting water flow in the heat exchanger. It is not usually dangerous, but it reduces efficiency and can shorten boiler life. A descale or system clean often helps. Homes in Carshalton include period cottages and houses around the ponds and a wide mix of suburban homes around Carshalton Beeches.
Yes. Period houses have awkward routes and older pipework, so we plan the work to keep disruption and visible changes down. If a change could affect a listed building, check with the council first.
Possibly. Near water, ground moisture can show up as damp. We check your pipes first, and if they are sound we say so, so you can look at drainage or damp proofing instead.
It often is, since the water here is hard. Blocked shower heads, scaled cartridges and partly closed valves are the usual causes, and we check the simple ones first.
