Central Heating in St Ives

Central heating in a St Ives home is one of those things you don't notice until it stops working — until the radiator under your bedroom window stays cold all winter, until your bills creep up year on year, or until the boiler in the airing cupboard starts making the noises that mean a power flush is overdue. Most of the time the fix is simpler than people expect.

St Ives's housing mix means we work across every kind of heating system. The newer Wheatfields properties are mostly modern combis with slim panel radiators and TRVs throughout — usually well-balanced from new but prone to sludge after a few years on hard water. The post-war estates around Westwood and Hill Rise run system or open-vent setups with bigger radiators and a cylinder upstairs. And the Georgian and Victorian homes around Market Hill and the Old Riverport often have a mix of original cast-iron and newer panel rads that need careful balancing to work properly — high ceilings and solid walls make heat loss patterns tricky.

Whether your St Ives home needs a single new radiator, a power flush to clear out hard-water sludge that's built up over the years, an underfloor heating zone in a new extension, or a smart thermostat that actually saves you money — we handle the lot. All gas work is carried out by our Gas Safe engineers and properly certificated.

Heating Services

Radiator installation in St Ives

Radiator Installation

New radiators added to existing circuits or installed as part of a new system. We size radiators to the room using BTU calculations so you get the right heat output — not just whatever fits the wall space.

Radiator repair in St Ives

Radiator Repair

Leaking valves, corroded connections, and cold spots. We repair or replace individual radiators, swap faulty thermostatic valves, and bleed systems that have air trapped inside.

Underfloor heating in St Ives

Underfloor Heating

Water-fed systems piped from your boiler or electric mat systems wired independently. Ideal for extensions, kitchen-diners, bathrooms, and new builds where you want even heat without wall-mounted radiators.

Power flushing in St Ives

Power Flushing

High-flow chemical flushing that clears sludge, rust, and limescale from every radiator and pipe in the system. Each radiator is flushed individually until the water runs clear, then we add inhibitor to protect the system long-term.

Smart thermostat in St Ives

Smart Thermostats

Hive, Nest, Tado, Drayton Wiser — we wire them in, connect them to your boiler, set up the app, and make sure everything works before we leave. Smart scheduling and geofencing typically save 10–15% on heating bills.

System design in St Ives

System Design

Full heating system design for new builds, extensions, and whole-house upgrades. We calculate heat loss, size radiators, plan pipe routes, and specify the right boiler output so the system works as a whole — not a collection of parts.

Heating Questions

It depends on the size, type, and whether we're adding to an existing system or replacing. See our pricing for current rates.
A power flush pushes a high-flow chemical solution through your entire heating system to remove sludge, rust, and limescale. You'll likely need one if your radiators have cold spots, your boiler makes banging noises, or some rooms heat unevenly. It typically transforms an underperforming system.
4–6 hours for a typical home with 8–12 radiators. Each radiator is flushed individually until the water runs clean, then a corrosion inhibitor is added to protect the system going forward.
Yes — we extend the existing heating circuit into extensions, conservatories, loft conversions, and garage conversions. We'll check your boiler has enough capacity to handle the additional demand and recommend an upgrade if it doesn't.
For new builds, extensions, and ground-floor renovations, absolutely. It distributes heat evenly, frees up wall space, and runs at lower temperatures than radiators — so it's cheaper to run long-term. Retrofit is possible but more involved, especially on upper floors.
Yes — Hive, Nest, Tado, and other smart thermostats. We wire them in, connect to your boiler, and make sure the app is working before we leave. A smart thermostat typically saves 10–15% on heating bills through better scheduling and geofencing.
Cold spots at the bottom of a radiator usually mean sludge has settled inside. This is iron oxide buildup from corroding pipes and radiators. A power flush clears it out. If it's just one radiator, removing and flushing it individually may be enough.
Yes — Westwood, Old Riverport, Hemingford Grey, Old Hurst, Pidley, Wyton, and all the villages around St Ives.
