WHAT FAILS HERE
Heating faults common in Thornton Heath
Working in Thornton Heath often involves encountering heating systems that have been in faithful service for decades but are now suffering the inevitable consequences of internal corrosion and neglect.
01
Cold spots and noise from sludge in radiators
Older systems that have never been power-flushed accumulate magnetite sludge, which settles in radiator bottoms, blocking heat transfer and causing banging noises. An engineer will check for a significant temperature difference between the top and bottom of a radiator and may drain a small amount of water to look for black, gritty contamination.
02
Frequent boiler pressure loss and component failure
System corrosion creates sludge that can clog the boiler's heat exchanger, automatic air vent, or even the pump itself, leading to repeated pressure drops and overheat faults. Diagnosis involves inspecting the magnetic system filter (if fitted) for heavy deposits and checking the condition of the water in the feed and expansion tank for signs of rust.
