From contact to coming to our home, diagnosis and having hot water again was excellent.

Coming back in a couple of weeks to change a couple of components. I would not hesitate to recommend.

I use Terrance Hughes & Sons to help maintain a property and the team has always provided quick and high quality work. Terry and Pavel are always on hand to provide me with support, including recently installing a boiler and carrying out the necessary inspections.

They complete work to a high standard, respect my tennants and focus on getting the job done. This helps me immensely because i trust them to do the work to my requirements. I highly recommend them and look forward to using their services in future.

My Aqualisa shower had not been working properly for some time. TJ Hughes fitted a new controller and diverter, and the shower now works perfectly.
Not cheap but much less expensive than Aqualisa’s repair charge, and less still than a new shower.

The central heating pump is an overlooked but essential component of the central heating system. The pump distributes hot water around your home. If your pump fails, you will have no hot water on tap or any heating. An old or incorrectly fitted pump can cause issues with your hot water supply and central heating.

Your Central Heating Pump will need to look at if you have the following problems.

The pump is humming or rattling
The pump is knocking or grating
The pump makes no noise at all
The pump won’t start
The Pump is hot to touch
Pump is leaking
No radiators are getting warm
Only some radiators are getting warm

Sometimes the pump will appear to be running. Still, no radiators are getting hot, the propellers could be stuck and will need releasing, which could be the end of the problem, but if it keeps happening regularly, the pump could be nearing the end of its life, the replacement will be in order.

Other causes of poorly working pumps can be dirt and sludge build-up or airlocks. Dirt and sludge can build up over time throughout the whole central heating system and can be cleared with power flushing while airlocks can be bled out.

A leaking pump is caused by a worn seal or corrosion in the pump itself. Worn seals can usually be replaced. If your pump is leaking due to corrosion, it will need to be replaced.

If your pumps are not working at all, it could be down to a blown a fuse, faulty wiring, or the pump has reached the end of its life and will need replacing.
