What We Fix
Most radiator faults can be diagnosed from a photo. Send one on WhatsApp and we'll give you a fixed price before we visit.
Cold spots on radiators
Cold patches at the top usually mean trapped air — we bleed the radiator. Cold at the bottom often indicates sludge build-up, which we flush out.
Radiator not heating at all
A radiator that stays cold when the heating is on is often a seized TRV or a closed lockshield valve. We identify and fix the cause.
Leaking radiator valves
Dripping TRVs, lockshield valves, or the radiator body itself. We isolate, replace the faulty valve, and re-pressurise the system.
TRV (thermostatic valve) replacement
Stiff, stuck, or faulty thermostatic radiator valves replaced with new ones. We match the valve size and connection type.
Lockshield valve replacement
Corroded or seized lockshield valves replaced cleanly. We balance the new valve to maintain correct system flow.
Radiator removal and refitting
Radiator removed for decorating, flooring, or replacement. We drain, remove, refit, and re-pressurise — no mess.
Radiator replacement
Old, corroded, or inefficient radiators replaced with new ones. We supply or fit a radiator you've already bought.
Radiator bleeding
Trapped air removed from radiators to restore full heat output. Quick job — usually done in a single visit across multiple radiators.

Radiator Repair in Ashford, Kent
Flow Right Plumbing® carries out radiator repairs and valve replacements across Ashford and the surrounding villages of Kennington, Willesborough, Singleton, Mersham, Aldington, Hamstreet, Kingsnorth, and Shadoxhurst. Our plumber is a registered member of the Chartered Institute of Plumbing and Heating Engineering (CIPHE/RP) with over 25 years' experience in domestic plumbing.
A radiator with cold spots at the top usually has trapped air — a quick bleed restores full heat output. Cold spots at the bottom are more commonly caused by sludge or magnetite build-up inside the radiator, which we flush out. A radiator that stays completely cold when the heating is on is often a seized thermostatic radiator valve (TRV) or a closed lockshield — both straightforward fixes.
Leaking radiator valves are one of the most common plumbing callouts in Ashford. A dripping valve left unattended can cause water damage to floors and ceilings below. We isolate the radiator, replace the faulty valve, and re-pressurise the system — usually in under an hour.
For radiator removal and refitting — for decorating, flooring, or replacement — we drain the radiator, remove it cleanly, and refit it when you're ready. We balance the system after refitting to ensure even heat distribution.
Every radiator repair job in Ashford is quoted at a fixed price before we visit. No call-out fee. Payment on completion only.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you charge a call-out fee for radiator work in Ashford?
No. Flow Right Plumbing does not charge a call-out fee. You receive a fixed price before we visit, so you know exactly what you will pay before we arrive.
My radiator is cold at the bottom but warm at the top — what does that mean?
A radiator that is cold at the bottom but warm at the top usually has a build-up of sludge or magnetite in the lower section. This is resolved by a powerflush or by removing and flushing the individual radiator. We will advise the most cost-effective solution for your situation.
Can you replace a thermostatic radiator valve (TRV)?
Yes. TRV replacement is a straightforward job we carry out regularly. We can replace a faulty or stuck TRV on any radiator without draining the whole system in most cases. Send us a photo on WhatsApp for a fixed price.
Is there a guarantee on radiator and valve work?
Yes. All work carried out by Flow Right Plumbing comes with a one-year no-quibble guarantee. If anything is not right within 12 months of the job, we will return and put it right at no extra charge.
