Radiator valves replacement in a London property

What to expect from our radiator valve replacement

Radiator valves play a crucial role in managing the efficiency and performance of your home’s heating system. There are two primary types of valves: thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs) and manual radiator valves.

A TRV is a self-regulating valve that adjusts the water flow into your radiator based on the air temperature in the room. This clever device allows you to maximise the efficiency of your heating system, providing different levels of warmth across different rooms in your home.

Manual radiator valves require manual adjustment to control the heat output. While they are simpler, they cannot optimize energy use as efficiently as TRVs. The choice of valve significantly impacts how well your home retains heat, with TRVs being a more modern, energy-efficient option, especially for households aiming to cut energy costs.

When you choose our thermostatic radiator valve replacement service, here's what you can expect:


System Shutdown:
The skilled plumber will begin by shutting down your heating and water systems to ensure a safe and controlled environment for the replacement.
Drain-Off Location:
Locating the drain off is crucial. This step ensures that water won't leak onto your floors during the replacement.
Old Valve Removal:
The plumber will carefully remove the old radiator valve to avoid any damage to the surrounding area.
New Valve Installation:
 We'll then expertly fit the new radiator valve, ensuring it functions correctly.
System Reboot:
After installation, we'll turn the main water supply back on and proceed to bleed the radiators, removing any air to maintain optimal heating performance.
Leak Inspection:
The plumber will conduct a thorough check of all joints and connections to guarantee there are no leaks or issues.

Why consider replacing your radiator valves

Upgrading or replacing your radiator valves, especially from manual to thermostatic, brings multiple benefits.


Energy efficiency:
TRVs help regulate room temperature more effectively, which can lead to lower energy bills. This can be particularly important for homes that experience uneven heating or rooms that are not always in use.
Temperature control:
Replacing faulty or old valves ensures better temperature control, improving the comfort of your living space.
Prolonged lifespan:
Faulty valves can cause your boiler to work harder than necessary, leading to premature wear and costly repairs.
Prevent common issues:
By changing your valves, you can prevent issues like radiator leaks or poor heating distribution, ensuring that your home remains warm and comfortable throughout the colder months.

Whether you're dealing with a faulty radiator valve or need to replace an old one to comply with new regulations, our services can help.

Starting from June 15, 2022, new regulations in the UK require heating systems to meet certain standards, with the installation of thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs) in most heated rooms being a key requirement. This update ensures greater energy efficiency and comfort in your home.

Note that existing working TRVs do not need to be replaced, but if you're unsure, consulting with a skilled plumber can provide clarity on your specific situation.

Frequently asked questions about our radiator valve replacement service

Q: How do I know if my thermostat needs replacing?

A: Common signs include inconsistent room temperatures, difficulty adjusting settings, an unresponsive screen, or a noticeable increase in energy bills. If your thermostat is more than 10 years old, upgrading to a newer model could significantly improve your home's energy efficiency.

Q: Are thermostatic radiator valves worth it?

A: Absolutely, thermostatic radiator valves represent an unquestionably valuable addition to your central heating system. They deliver a compelling trifecta of benefits: cost-efficiency, operational efficiency, and enhanced comfort, all while ensuring long-term savings for your household.

Q: What's the distinction between a manual radiator valve and a TRV?

A: In essence, a manual radiator valve functions akin to a faucet, affording manual control over heat output by permitting or restricting water flow. On the other hand, a Thermostatic Radiator Valve (TRV) elevates your heating system with automated precision, continuously adjusting the flow of hot water into the radiator in response to the ambient room temperature.

Q: How much does TRV installation cost?

A: Our pricing structure is hourly-based, ensuring that you only pay for the precise duration of the plumber's installation work. The final cost hinges on the number of valves requiring replacement, with a direct correlation between valve quantity and installation time.

Q: Can thermostatic valves be installed on older radiators?

A: Yes, indeed. Thermostatic valves can be seamlessly installed on radiators regardless of their age or make.

Q: Can all radiators accommodate thermostatic valves?

A: While it is technically possible to equip all radiators with TRVs, it is advisable to leave at least one radiator devoid of a TRV and set it to a continuous heating mode. Ideally, this radiator should be situated in a bathroom or the room housing the thermostat, ensuring optimal heating control.

Q: What is your service coverage?

A: Our services extend across the entirety of the London M25 zone, offering comprehensive coverage for your convenience.

Q: What is your availability?

A: Our services are available 7 days a week, from early in the morning to the early evening hours. Booking our services is a breeze, thanks to our real-time availability feature. Simply select the most suitable time slot that aligns with your schedule. In case of emergencies, do not hesitate to reach out to us, and we will make every effort to dispatch an expert promptly.

Q: Can you assess the condition of my radiators as well?

A: Certainly. The proficient technician will thoroughly inspect your radiators and provide expert guidance should any concerns arise. If a radiator repair becomes necessary, we are fully equipped to swiftly arrange a service visit to address any issues.

Q: How much can I save on energy bills with a modern thermostat?

A: By installing a programmable or smart thermostat, homeowners can expect to save approximately 10-20% on heating and cooling costs. These savings come from the ability to avoid heating or cooling when it’s not needed, particularly when you're away from home.
