Central Heating — frequently asked questions
Why do I have cold spots on some radiators?
Cold spots at the top of a radiator usually indicate trapped air — the radiator needs bleeding. Cold spots at the bottom suggest sludge buildup. Power flushing can remove sludge and restore full heat output.
What is power flushing and does my system need it?
Power flushing uses high-velocity water to clean sludge, scale, and corrosion products from your heating system. Systems more than 10 years old in Bristol are likely to benefit from power flushing, particularly if radiators have cold areas or the system is noisy.
Do you charge a call-out fee?
No, Bristol Emergency Plumber does not charge any call-out fees. You only pay for the work completed.
How quickly can you arrive in an emergency?
For urgent plumbing issues, we aim to arrive within 60-90 minutes across Bristol and surrounding areas, traffic and weather permitting.
