Central Heating in Old Basing — common questions
My Old Basing radiators are cold at the bottom — what's wrong?+
Classic sludge — iron oxide settling and blocking circulation. Fix is a power flush + magnetic filter retrofit + inhibitor top-up, typically £450-£650 in RG24 depending on rad count. Often combined with a couple of TRV replacements while the system is drained.
Can you fit underfloor heating in a Old Basing extension?+
Yes — wet underfloor heating laid into screed for new extensions, or low-profile retro-fit systems for existing rooms. We coordinate with builders and tilers across Old Basing routinely, so it isn't a project you have to manage yourself. Particularly popular in modern executive housing.
What heating controls do you recommend in Old Basing?+
Hive and Nest 3rd-gen for most Old Basing homes — proven, well-supported and easy for non-techy users. Tado smart radiator valves if you have one or two cold rooms. We stay away from cheaper brands that get pulled from the market in 3 years and brick your thermostat.
Can you upgrade radiators on a working Old Basing heating system?+
Yes — we isolate, drain just the affected circuit and swap radiators in a half-day to a day depending on quantity. The rest of the house stays in use. Useful when you only want larger rads in the lounge or bedroom rather than a full system change.
