Central Heating for Slade Green Properties
1930s Terraces and Semis
The most common central heating upgrade in Slade Green is converting from a gravity-fed open-vented system to a modern sealed system. This removes the loft tank and upgrades to a pressurised expansion vessel, improving both efficiency and hot water pressure.
Properties with Small-Bore Pipework
Original small-bore pipework in 1930s properties can cause flow restrictions when modern boilers are installed. We assess this during the survey and advise on whether pipe upgrades are required.
