Your Heating Has Been Off For Months. Does It Still Work?

You turn the heating on again.

Nothing.

There’s a much better time to find out something’s wrong:

Now, while you don’t desperately need it.

So turn your heating on and see what happens.

And don’t rely on:

“It worked last winter.”

That isn’t a test.

A boiler working last winter is no guarantee it’ll work properly when you switch it on today.

Check:

🔥 Does the boiler fire up normally?

🔥 Do all the radiators get properly hot?

🔥 Does the pressure stay where it should?

🔥 Any unusual noises or fault codes?

Something wrong?

Don’t immediately assume you need a new boiler.

TM Hughes & Son has more than 30 years’ experience with boilers and heating systems across Essex — with a 5.0 Google rating from 460+ reviews.

Our first job is to find out what’s actually wrong.

It may simply need a service or some routine maintenance rather than a major repair.

If a repair makes sense, we’ll tell you.

If an older boiler has reached the point where replacement makes more sense, we’ll explain why.

Turn your heating on today.

If something isn’t right, get in touch and get it sorted while you still have the luxury of not needing it.

We have used TM Hughes & Son Gas Services for all our plumbing needs over several years. The service provided has always been reliable, friendly, very professional and competitively priced. Today we had our annual service carried out on our boiler by Kai, a member of the company, who quickly identified a dangerously worn seal within the boiler. Having warned us that the part would have to be ordered with a possible one to two days turn around he left to order a new seal from a local supplier. However, despite his doubts on the availability he managed to locate and obtain a replacement part and returned the same day to carry out the repair. Having done so, he went on to successfully complete the annual boiler service as required. Kai’s efforts and prompt repair ensured that we suffered little to no inconvenience. This is not the first time that TM Hughes & Son Gas Services has come to our rescue and I would have no hesitation in highly recommending this company to anyone. GF

Very reliable and helpful team. They responded quickly to an urgent gas issue, resolving it without any hassle and at a very fair price. They also do my annual boiler service, again at a good price and on a date that suits. 2026 Update, once again this company does exactly what it promises to do and is totally reliable.
