Local to Tile Hill & Canley
We know Tile Hill & Canley. The postcodes, the pipework, the property types.
Tile Hill and Canley sit on the western edge of Coventry, roughly twenty minutes from our CV2 base along the A45 and the ring road, with Cannon Park and Westwood Heath adjoining the university.
This is one of the most consistent housing belts in the city: large-scale 1950s–70s estate development, much of it originally council-built, plus the student rental belt around Cannon Park and Canley serving the University of Warwick. Practically every heating system here started life as microbore — 8mm or 10mm copper tails off a central manifold. Microbore isn't a fault, but it blocks with sludge faster than 15mm, it limits what a modern high-output combi can deliver, and it's the reason so many radiators in this area are cold at the bottom. The other constant is Westwood Heath and Bannerbrook-side newer housing, which is the exact opposite: push-fit, system boilers and underfloor circuits.

Power Flushing
If your radiators are cold at the bottom, your boiler's making noise, or your bills are creeping up — your system is full of magnetite sludge. We remove it properly, dose the right inhibitor, and fit a magnetic filter so it never builds back up.

Cold radiators upstairs, kettle-noise from the boiler, bills climbing every winter — we find the cause and fix it. Honest written quote before a single tool comes out.
See heatingBoiler Repair
A boiler that keeps locking out is telling you something. We diagnose the underlying cause — not just reset the code — so the same fault doesn't put you back in a cold house next week.

Properly designed wet UFH delivers more even comfort, more usable wall space and lower running temperatures than radiators. We design the system, fit the pipework, wire the manifold and commission it — one trade, one accountability.

Issues specific to Tile Hill & Canley
What goes wrong here — and why it matters.
Local property age, climate, water chemistry and infrastructure all influence what fails and how often. Here's what we see in Tile Hill & Canley.
Sludged microbore
8mm tails silt up quickly without inhibitor. The classic symptom is radiators hot at the top and cold at the bottom, plus a boiler that keeps cutting out on overheat. A proper power flush, fresh inhibitor and a magnetic filter is the fix — not a new boiler on the same dirty water.
Microbore and high-output combis
Fitting a 30kW+ combi to 8mm tails without partial upgrading gives poor circulation and disappointing performance. We tell you before the install what needs upgrading and what it costs.
Communal flues in maisonettes
Shared or communal flue arrangements limit what appliances can be fitted and need proper inspection before any boiler swap. We check rather than assume.
Student-let timing pressure
Turnaround windows here are short and land in summer. We book CP12s and remedial work around changeover dates so properties are certified before tenants move in.
