Good to Know
> 🏠 **Perfect for first-time buyers:** This is the sort of thing landlords do in rental properties, but you've never learned yourself. Really useful skill to have. **Already got a radiator key?** That's fine - I'll still show you the technique and pressure checking. The key's only a small part of knowing how to do it properly. **Multiple properties?** If you're a landlord or own a second home, learning this saves you loads - you can maintain all your properties yourself. **Elderly or nervous?** This service is perfect if you want to be shown slowly and carefully. I'll go at your pace, answer all questions, repeat anything you're unsure about.
Frequently Asked Questions about Radiator key supply in Ottery St Mary
Can't I just buy a radiator key myself?
Absolutely - they're about £1 from any hardware shop. But this service is really about showing you HOW to use it properly. Once you know, you can maintain your own heating system.
Will you actually bleed my radiators or just show me?
I'll do one or two as demonstration, then you have a go while I guide you. That way you learn properly and feel confident doing the rest yourself in future.
What if I'm worried about making a mess?
I'll show you the tricks - how much to turn the valve, what to listen for, when to stop. It's much less messy than people think once you know what you're doing.
Is this service just for elderly people?
Not at all - it's for anyone who wants to learn basic home maintenance. First-time buyers, people who've always rented, anyone who wants to be more self-sufficient.
Will you teach me about the boiler pressure too?
Yes - that's crucial. I'll show you how to read the pressure gauge, when to top up, and how to use the filling loop safely. It's all part of radiator maintenance.
