Fitting a Magnaclean on your heating system is recommended to collect the iron oxide and sludge that builds up. They can be cleaned out on an annual boiler service or do it yourself whenever you like. I have been a full-time heating engineer repairing and installing boilers for over a decade. Here is my Magnaclean […]
A boiler leaking water can cause your boiler to not fire up, rust, or become dangerous. I have been fitting and fixing boilers full-time for over a decade and have repaired many leaking boilers. In this post, I’ll share some of what I have learned over the years from my on-the-job experiences. Leaking water from
An airlock in a radiator pipe can cause a radiator or multiple radiators not to work. Airlocked radiators are annoying and will cause rooms to be cold.

Removing a radiator from a wall can be very difficult. Depending on what system you have, the size of the radiator you’re removing, and the condition of the valves, it can be a 6-hour nightmare or a 10-minute walk in the park. I have been a full-time heating engineer carrying out radiator repairs and replacements
When your pressure drops too low, the boiler will stop working, which means no heating or hot water. The pressure should be between 1 and 1.5 bar when the radiators are cold. I have been repairing and servicing Worcester boilers for over a decade and have fixed many boiler pressure problems. Worcester boiler pressure explained Worcester boilers
When your MT10 timer is broken your heating will not work. Replacing the MT10 timer (or MT10rf) on a Worcester boiler is very simple once you have removed the boiler casing. I have been carrying out boiler replacements and repairs for over ten years and replacing an MT10 timer is very basic. Here I’ll show
