Is Your Heating System Showing These Signs?
Many heating faults aren't caused by the boiler itself — cold radiators, uneven heating or poor circulation often sit in the wider system. APS diagnoses and repairs problems throughout your heating system, restoring reliable, efficient warmth across your home.
- Cold radiators or cold spots
- One radiator cold while others heat
- Uneven heating around your home
- Thermostat calling but radiators stay cold
- Noisy radiators and pipework
- Poor circulation or airlocks
- Pump or motorised valve faults
- Heating leaks
- Slow warm-up times
Our engineers trace faults throughout your entire heating system—not just the boiler—to identify the root cause. We'll explain the problem clearly and recommend the most effective repair before any work begins. Sludge and circulation issues may need a power flush; boiler-specific faults sit on our dedicated Boiler Repairs and Boiler Servicing pages.
Upgrading Your Heating System? Add Smart Controls Too
Central heating upgrades are the ideal moment to fit smart thermostats and TRVs — so you heat rooms only when you need them, with clearer control from your phone.
- Room-by-room control
- Control from your phone
Central heating repair expertise
When several radiators stay cold or the heating will not zone properly, the fault is often in the system — a pump, motorised valve or sludge — rather than a broken boiler. APS installs, repairs and upgrades central heating across Newbury and Berkshire, with clear advice on what actually needs doing.

Central Heating Services in Newbury & Berkshire — FAQs
Why are my radiators cold?
Cold radiators often indicate airlocks, sludge, stuck valves, pump failure or poor system balancing. APS tests circulation, checks each radiator and traces the fault through pipework and controls — not just the boiler.
Why is my heating noisy?
Banging, gurgling or humming usually points to air in the system, sludge, pump issues, expansion vessel problems or restricted flow. We diagnose the source and recommend targeted repairs or power flushing where needed.
Do I need a power flush?
You may need a power flush if radiators have cold spots, the system is slow to warm up or there is visible sludge. APS assesses water quality and circulation first — see our dedicated power flushing page for full details.
Can you replace heating pumps and valves?
Yes. We replace central heating pumps, motorised valves, zone valves and related controls — matching components to your system and testing each zone after installation.
