Local knowledge
Heating in Greenwich homes
Greenwich housing is dominated by period conversions, post-war estates and new riverside towers. Knowing the local building stock matters for heating work just as much as for any other trade — it tells us what pipework and radiator setup to expect, and which service will make the biggest difference in the room you're asking about.
Whether that's a cold room needing a correctly sized radiator, a system overdue a power flush, or an extension that needs underfloor heating specified properly — we scope it with a free survey before anything is quoted.
Greenwich's mix of period conversions, post-war estates, and new riverside towers creates distinct heating needs. Victorian or Edwardian conversions often require independent zoning for separate flats, while newer towers may need smart controls for large, open-plan layouts. Post-war systems frequently benefit from rebalancing or power flushing to address uneven heat distribution.

What we see locally
Common heating issues in Greenwich
Unbalanced systems in period conversions
Converted Victorian and Edwardian houses in areas like Blackheath often have heating systems extended haphazardly to serve new flats. This can create cold spots in some rooms and overheating in others, requiring a full system rebalance and potential zoning upgrades.
Sludge in post-war estate systems
The original steel radiators and pipework in many Greenwich post-war estates are decades old. Corrosion and magnetite sludge build-up is common, reducing efficiency and heat output. A professional power flush can restore performance before considering radiator upgrades.
Single-zone control in HMOs
Many larger period properties in Woolwich or Charlton are used as Houses in Multiple Occupation. A single thermostat for the entire building leads to tenant disputes and energy waste, necessitating the installation of independent heating controls for each unit.
Inadequate heat in high-ceiling conversions
Loft or basement conversions in period properties often feature high ceilings and poor insulation. Standard radiators may be undersized for the volume of space, requiring careful heat loss calculations and the specification of larger or additional outputs to ensure comfort.
Three ways we fix uneven heat
Power flushing
Clears sludge and rust so heat is restored evenly across every radiator.
System rebalancing
Adjusts flow through every radiator so no room is left fighting for heat.
Smart controls
Zoned thermostats and TRVs so you heat the rooms you actually use.
