Christmas opening hours 🎄

We're all about taking time out over Christmas to unwind, properly relax and come back fully recharged in January so we're signing off the socials.

We'd like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your support in 2022 and wish you a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

See you on the other side.

Keep warm this winter with our top tips for efficient radiators

1. If your radiator is only getting hot at the bottom then trapped air could be the issue. To get rid of the air and allow the radiator to work to full effect it needs bleeding. Use a radiator key in the bleed valve and twist to open allowing the air to escape. DON”T do this when the heating is on or the radiator is still hot and ensure to use a cloth to catch any dribbles which may also escape when the air is released. Once water starts to come out then close the valve. We would recommend bleeding radiators a couple of times a year.

2. Check the positioning of your radiators, traditionally they are placed under windows but take care not to block the heat with heavy curtains or you will be losing the benefits. Radiator foil can be fitted behind the radiator to bounce heat back into a room, although this will only be effective with solid panel radiators.

3. Do you have TRV’s (Thermostatic radiator valves) fitted to your radiators, these valves allows you to control the temperature in individual rooms. Up to date controls including TRV’s and room thermostats help the system to work more efficiently and to improve performance.

4. If you’re planning to upgrade or replace radiators check out a BTU calculator or ask the advice of a Gas Safe Registered Heating engineer. BTU’s or British Thermal Units are the measurement of radiator output. Online calculators will help you work out the category of radiator you need to achieve the desired result, taking into account the number of outside walls, room direction etc as these factors will all play a part in how cold a room is.

5. Don’t use your radiator to dry clothes. Hanging clothes over the radiator reduces it efficiency by blocking the air flow from the radiator around the room and thereby costing you more. Use a separate airer instead to hang clothes.

Which ones will you try?

When your gas boiler breaks down, it may be tempting to reach for the first name you can think of, but always make sure they are Gas Safe registered first. Gas Safe registered engineers are qualified and competent to carry out gas work for you.

Based in Brighton, Hove or the surrounding areas, then give us a call on 01273 507988 or find a local engineer at GasSafeRegister.co.uk.

Nice little job from this week.
Boiler replacement and a bit of a tidy up with the pipe work in a local art studio.

This week should be Gas Safety Week, an annual event to raise awareness of the dangers of poorly maintained gas appliances and what to look out for in your home.

Due to the sad passing of Queen Elizabeth II, Gas Safe made the decision to not run the campaign as planned out of respect for the mourning period.

However whilst we totally appreciate this is the right thing to do in this circumstance, it is also important to raise awareness around this and so we have decided to share the campaign information as planned.

Make sure you stay safe at home by:
1. Not attempting to DIY - always use a Gas Safe Registered Engineer
2. Get your annual boiler service - not only will this flag any issues but it could also save you money both on your energy bills and in the longer term by extending the lifespan of your system
3. Install an audible carbon monoxide alarm

When dd you last have your boiler serviced?

Whilst collectively as a nation we are mourning the sad passing of Queen Elizabeth II, I am also sad to hear of the death of Grange Hill head Mrs McClusky who was a stalwart of after school TV in my youth and was also a Brighton resident. Rest in peace

The actress Gwyneth Powell, best known for her role as Bridget “the midget” McClusky in the BBC TV series Grange Hill, has died in Brighton at the age of 76. Powell, who was married to fellow actor Alan Leith, played the Grange Hill head from 1981 to 1991 and later appeared in the Channel 4...
