What are some problems common with central heating systems?
Air may get trapped in a radiator, leaving it cold at the top whilst it is warm at the bottom. It then needs 'bleeding'.

This is caused by a build up of sludge in the radiator and will probably require professional help. Sometimes the downstairs radiators stop heating up, whilst the upstairs ones are fine. This is caused by a problem with the pump and will again require professional help.
