Central Heating in Tilehurst
Magnetic-filter & power-flush specialists — local team covering RG30 and surrounding areas.
Central heating upgrades in Tilehurst cover the full spectrum: radiator replacements, smart thermostat retrofits (Hive, Nest, Tado), unvented cylinder swaps, zoning the upstairs and downstairs separately, and full boiler+cylinder+rads replacement. Realistic timelines, written quotes — full system jobs typically run 3-5 days on site with heating restored every evening.
Why this matters in Tilehurst
Zoning a Edwardian and 1930s semis in Tilehurst into upstairs/downstairs/annex separately is the single biggest comfort upgrade most homeowners haven't done. Wireless thermostats and motorised valves added to an existing system run £400-£900 fitted, payback inside 2-3 winters on running cost savings alone.
Covering Reading and Theale too.
Central Heating for Tilehurst homeowners
Tilehurst is mostly owner-occupied family housing — Edwardian and 1930s semis, 1970s estates, modern infill — and our central heating work here reflects that. We're in your home, not a building site, and the install plan we agree at quote stage is the install you get on the day.
Our central heating coverage of Tilehurst extends right across RG30 and the surrounding parishes — Reading (3mi east), Theale (3mi south-west), Caversham (3mi north-east). Reading Borough Council is the planning authority for any external work like flue routing or condenser placement, and we deal with that paperwork end-to-end.

Central Heating in Tilehurst — common questions
Do you fit unvented hot water cylinders in Tilehurst?+
Yes — G3 qualified and we fit Megaflo, Telford and Joule cylinders regularly across Tilehurst. Mains-pressure hot water on every tap, no loft tank, proper safety controls (T&P valve, expansion vessel, tundish, discharge route) fitted and certified. Reclaims the airing cupboard too.
Will moving to a system boiler need a new cylinder in Tilehurst?+
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 Worth doing properly rather than reusing an outdated cylinder.
My Tilehurst radiators heat at the top but stay cold at the bottom — what's wrong?+
Classic sludge build-up. The iron oxide settles in the bottom of each radiator and blocks circulation. Fix is a power flush + magnetic filter retrofit + inhibitor top-up. Costs roughly £450-£650 in Tilehurst depending on rad count, and gets you back to a properly hot system.
Can you fit underfloor heating in a Tilehurst 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 Tilehurst routinely, so it isn't a project you have to manage yourself. Particularly popular in modern infill.
