Heating Leak Middlesbrough
Central heating leak enquiries for radiators, valves and heating-system pipework in Middlesbrough.
Leaks from the central heating system
Heating-system leaks can appear at radiator valves, radiator connections, accessible pipework or other heating components. A small visible leak can also contribute to repeated boiler pressure loss.
This service is focused on central-heating related leaks rather than general plumbing. For water coming directly from or immediately around the boiler, see boiler leak help in Middlesbrough. For wider heating faults such as poor circulation or cold radiators, see heating fault help.

Frequently asked questions
What should I do if I smell gas?
If you smell gas or suspect a gas escape, turn off the gas at the emergency control valve if safe to do so, ventilate the property, avoid using electrical switches or naked flames, leave the property if necessary and call the National Gas Emergency Service immediately on 0800 111 999.
Can a small heating leak make boiler pressure drop?
Yes. Water loss from the heating system can reduce system pressure. Repeated pressure loss should be investigated rather than continually topped up.
Do you cover leaking radiator valves?
Yes, where the work is connected to the central heating system and falls within the service scope, subject to availability.

Gas Safety Advice
What should I do if I smell gas?
If you smell gas or suspect a gas escape, turn off the gas at the emergency control valve if safe to do so, ventilate the property, avoid using electrical switches or naked flames, leave the property if necessary and call the National Gas Emergency Service immediately on 0800 111 999.
What does a gas leak smell like?
Natural gas is odourless, but an odourant is added so leaks are easier to detect. It is commonly described as a strong sulphur or rotten-egg smell. Carbon monoxide is different: it has no smell, colour or taste, so a working carbon monoxide alarm is important around fuel-burning appliances.
Who should check a suspected gas leak?
If you suspect an active gas escape, contact the National Gas Emergency Service first on 0800 111 999 and follow their instructions. Once the immediate situation has been made safe, a Gas Safe registered engineer can inspect or repair an affected gas appliance where further work is required. MP Heating Services can help with suitable gas-appliance work within our registered scope.
