They have been idle all summer. Now, the first cold days prompt us to awaken those iron or steel thingamajigs, silent sentinels in every room, and see what happens. Now is their chance to show what they are worth. With some trepidation, we turn on the heating. We listen to noisy pipes, various hisses and gurgles, sure proof that the sleeping monster awakes. Tepid here! Tepid in here too! Warming up nicely! But things do not always go so smoothly. Sometimes, odd stains or unaccountable dampness are dire indications that something is not functioning correctly.
The winter heating systems in older houses have been around for quite a while. Back in the day, hefty iron or steel radiators were built to last.

As buildings get restored and restructured, so radiators and heating systems can be effectively repaired and reset to function as good as new and No1PHD is the company to address the problem in the smoothest, fastest and most cost-effective way.
