Most people call us about air conditioning when it’s already roasting.

The bedroom is too hot to sleep in.

The home office feels stuffy by lunchtime.

The conservatory is basically unusable.

That’s when the phone starts ringing.

The funny thing is, cooler weeks like this are often the best time to think about air conditioning.

There’s no rush.

You have time to get a proper survey, compare your options, and work out which rooms actually need cooling before the next hot spell arrives.

Because if the last few summers have taught us anything, it’s that hot weeks arrive without warning.

One week it’s 20°C.

The next it’s 30°C+.

Whether you’re looking to cool a bedroom, home office, living room or conservatory, air conditioning provides efficient cooling in summer and heating in winter too.

If you’re considering air conditioning for your home, we’re happy to offer advice and provide a free, no-obligation survey and quote.

Air conditioning installations start from £1300. Servicing and repairs start from £100. Link in comments if you’d like us to take a look.

Your air con, sit there quietly all year…

Then, the second the weather turns hot, it suddenly has to save your home from feeling like a greenhouse.

You turn it on.

You realise the unit isn't cooling as well as it used to.

The air feels weak.

Your room takes forever to cool down.

There’s a musty smell when it kicks in.

It sounds louder than normal.

Or worse… It’s blasting away all day and still barely touching the heat.

This usually means it’s due a service.

Your shower should not keep running hot and cold.

It’s not “just one of those things.”

It’s your shower telling you something is off.

It could be…

A worn thermostatic cartridge.

Pressure dropping when someone flushes the toilet or turns a tap on.

A blocked shower head or hose choking the flow.

A boiler struggling to deliver steady hot water.

Or an electric shower cutting heat in and out because something inside is failing.

These are warning signs that a small annoying problem could turn into a bigger, more expensive one.

If your shower keeps switching from cold to hot, don’t ignore it.

Get it checked properly.

We diagnose and repair shower, boiler, pressure, and plumbing issues so your shower works the way it should.

Safe.

Steady.

Consistent.

No, your Boiler pressure should not need topping up every month.

A lot of homeowners get used to it.

The heating stops working properly…

They check the Boiler…

The pressure has dropped again.

So they top it up, the Boiler starts working, and everyone forgets about it until the next time.

But that’s not a fix.

That’s just replacing the pressure the system has already lost.

Your heating system is sealed. Once it’s filled and pressurised, the pressure should stay stable.

Most systems only need topping up once, maybe twice a year.

So if pressure keeps dropping, something isn’t right.

It could be:

• A small leak on a radiator valve or pipe
• A pressure relief valve passing water outside
• An expansion vessel issue
• Air in the system
• A fault inside the Boiler itself

Small issues don’t usually stay small.

You can be left with weak heating, radiators that barely warm up, or no heating and no hot water.

A tiny leak, a faulty valve, or a failing component can slowly turn into a much bigger repair if left alone.

The damage can spread.

Water can mark ceilings, ruin flooring, soak into walls, damage nearby woodwork, and affect components inside the Boiler.

It can also create damp, encourage mould growth, and pose a safety risk if water comes into contact with electrics, wiring, or Boiler controls.

Constantly topping it up can also create another problem. Every time fresh water enters the system, it can bring oxygen with it — and oxygen in a heating system can lead to corrosion, sludge, and increased wear on Your Boiler over time.

The good news is that pressure issues are usually straightforward and inexpensive to fix.

We carry out Boiler repairs across Essex.
