Central Heating Upgrades — Puttenham, GU3
Magnetic-filter & power-flush specialists — local team covering GU3 and surrounding areas.
Full central heating installation in Puttenham — boiler, cylinder, 8-10 radiators and modern controls — typically runs 3-5 working days on site, heating and hot water restored every evening. Larger period cottages with system redesign run 5-8 days. Realistic timeline given at survey, not a "we'll be done by Friday" guess.
Why this matters in Puttenham
Puttenham customers most often ask about full-system replacements when the existing boiler is 12+ years old and the rads are running uneven — at that point a coordinated boiler+rads+cylinder job is usually cheaper than five years of patch repairs. Guildford Borough Council planning permissions are only needed for unusual flue or condenser positions; we handle the paperwork either way.
Usually back to you the same working day across GU3.

Central Heating in Puttenham — common questions
My Puttenham 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 GU3 depending on rad count. Often combined with a couple of TRV replacements while the system is drained.
Can you split a Puttenham house into heating zones?+
Yes — wireless thermostats and motorised valves let you control upstairs, downstairs and an annex separately. Particularly worthwhile for larger 1930s detached where one thermostat in the hall doesn't represent the whole house.
What heating controls do you recommend in Puttenham?+
Hive and Nest 3rd-gen for most Puttenham 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.
Will moving to a system boiler need a new cylinder in Puttenham?+
Almost always. The old G3-unsafe vented cylinder gets replaced with a modern unvented one (typically 180-210L), the loft tanks come out, and the airing cupboard is reclaimed. Worth doing properly rather than reusing an outdated cylinder.
