Storage heaters cold in the morning?

Tell us whether one heater or every heater has failed to charge. Record the make and model and whether the controls or boost still work. A shared off-peak supply fault needs a different investigation from a failed component in one heater.

Hot water works on boost only

Where a cylinder has separate overnight and boost heating, the fault may be in a control, element or off-peak supply. Describe which setting works and whether a meter or tariff change preceded the problem. Photographs of accessible labels and controls help us prepare.

Thermostats and room controls

We assess compatibility before replacing a thermostat. An electric floor, direct heater and electric boiler may require different switching and sensor arrangements. Send the control model and tell us whether you want a repair, a programmable replacement or app control.

Renters, landlords and managing agents

Please identify the person authorising the work and arrange access with the occupier. For managed blocks, tell us about access to meters and plant cupboards. Written findings and a separate quotation for planned replacement work can help the landlord decide the next step.

Arrange your London visit

We travel from Reading and confirm London attendance by postcode. Provide parking, lift or stair access details, particularly for heavy storage-heater or cylinder replacements. Visit charges and any additional access or travel costs are agreed before booking.

Electric heating faults in London: a system-led approach

Electric-heating systems around central and outer-London postcodes, purpose-built flats and converted apartments can combine storage heaters, direct electric radiators, Economy 7 switching, immersion heaters and hot-water cylinders. Because London has many all-electric flats, conversions and properties where gas is absent or impractical, the same symptom can have very different causes. Our fault-finding starts with the supply and controls before parts are recommended, with particular attention to building access, electrical supply limits, hot-water arrangement and landlord or managing-agent requirements.

If heating or hot water is intermittent, not charging overnight or repeatedly tripping a protective device, the useful first step is diagnosis rather than replacement. We can then distinguish an appliance fault from a timer, thermostat, off-peak circuit or fixed-wiring issue and explain the repair or upgrade options for the actual installation.

Booking the right visit

Efficient London diagnosis starts with access and system details

For a London call-out, send the postcode, property type, appliance make/model, any error code and clear photographs where safe. In flats, also flag restricted access to meters, intake cupboards, plant rooms or landlord-controlled equipment before the visit.

All-electric properties can combine multiple high-load systems. We diagnose the failed service first, then consider overall capacity only when it is relevant to a repair or proposed upgrade.

If your property uses a wet central-heating system, see our electric boiler service in London. For wider diagnosis, our storage-heater repair guide explains another common electric-heating route.
