Ever posted a job on a 'find a tradesperson' website and wondered why nobody gets back to you?

There might be a reason you haven't considered.

Some of these websites charge businesses just to obtain your contact details — sometimes tens of pounds for a single enquiry.

And that's whether they actually get the job or not!

So if you're only researching a project, getting an idea of costs or thinking about having work done in six months, some tradespeople may decide not to pay to pursue the enquiry.

That's not a criticism of customers doing their research. Quite the opposite — we'd encourage it!

But here's a thought...

Why not research local companies yourself and contact the ones you like directly?

You can check their reviews, experience and qualifications, ask questions and explain exactly what you're looking for.

And you don't have to wait for somebody to purchase your enquiry before they can get in touch.

At Gascare, we're happy to discuss your heating requirements directly, whether you need help now or you're considering a replacement boiler in the future.

We've explained a little more about how these websites work in our latest blog:

https://www.gascare.co.uk/why-tradespeople-dont-respond-to-enquiries/

Have you ever struggled to get a response through one of these websites? Or have you had a good experience?

We'd be interested to hear both sides.

⏰ Clocks go back this weekend – but will your heating timer?

At 2am on Sunday 25th October, the clocks go back one hour. That means an extra hour in bed!

But don't forget to check your central heating programmer, or you might find your heating coming on an hour earlier than expected!

🔧 How to check your heating timer:

✅ Digital programmers: Check the time on the display. If it's wrong, look for a CLOCK, TIME or SET button to adjust it.

✅ Older dial timers: These often need changing manually. Adjust the clock dial to the correct time, following the manufacturer's instructions.

✅ Smart thermostats: Most update automatically, but it's worth checking!

💡 Top tip: You shouldn't need to change your actual heating ON/OFF programmes – just make sure the clock is showing the correct time.

Not sure how to change yours? Your heating programmer's instruction manual should explain how.

Hot shower? Lovely. Warm radiators? Not a chance!

It's one of those frustrating heating problems.

You turn on the hot tap and everything works perfectly. But turn up the thermostat and... nothing. The radiators are still stone cold.

So how can your boiler produce hot water but not heat your home?

It could be something as simple as a heating programmer still set for summer, or it could be a faulty valve, thermostat or another component that needs investigating.

We've explained seven possible causes in this week's Gascare blog, including a few simple checks worth making before calling an engineer.

We're curious — what's the strangest or most frustrating thing your central heating has ever done?

We'd love to hear your stories in the comments!

We're sharing this JustGiving page in support of one of our retired Gascare engineers, Pat Gibbons, who is taking on the challenge of walking 60 miles to raise money for prostate cancer research.

It's a fantastic cause and we'd love to help Pat spread the word.

If you're able to donate, or even just share his fundraising page, we're sure he'd really appreciate the support.

Good luck, Pat!

Another Daikin Air Conditioning Installation Completed!

Our Gascair team were busy last week installing this fantastic Daikin multi-split air conditioning system for one of our customers.

The beauty of a multi-split system? One outdoor unit can run multiple indoor units, providing individual temperature control in different rooms without needing several outdoor units.

And remember, air conditioning isn't just for those hot summer days!

Heating in winter

Cooling in summer

Year-round comfort

With the colder months approaching, it's worth remembering that modern air conditioning systems can provide efficient heating as well as cooling.

Whether you're looking to keep your bedroom cool during the summer or make your home more comfortable throughout the year, Gascair can help.

Call us: 02380 516611

A question for you: If you could have air conditioning installed in just one room of your home, which would you choose – the bedroom or the living room?

Banging, gurgling, knocking... what's your central heating trying to tell you?

Now that the heating is coming back on regularly, you might be noticing a few noises you haven't heard since last winter.

Some are perfectly normal. Pipes expanding as they warm up, for example, can cause occasional clicking or ticking.

But other noises – particularly loud banging from the boiler, gurgling radiators or a boiler that sounds like a kettle – could indicate something that needs attention.

We've put together a guide explaining some of the more common central heating noises, what might be causing them and when it's worth getting an engineer involved.

And no, a noisy radiator doesn't automatically mean your system needs a powerflush!

Ever wondered what's hiding behind an old-fashioned gas fire?

You might be surprised!

These photographs were taken during a recent routine service by one of our Gascare engineers.

Behind what looks like an ordinary gas fire is a back boiler, providing central heating and, depending on the system, hot water for the home.

Although back boilers are becoming increasingly uncommon, there are still plenty of them working away in homes across the country.

This particular appliance received its routine service and was left working satisfactorily, ready for another winter.

At Gascare, we've been servicing heating systems since 1973, and we still look after many of these older appliances.

Did you grow up in a house with a back boiler, or have you still got one today?

“But it passed the gas safety check last year…”
This is something we expect to hear a little more often following changes to the industry procedures for gas tightness testing.
From 1 October 2026, an updated standard for tightness testing – IGEM/UP/1B Edition 4 – came fully into effect.
This changes how engineers assess pressure loss during a tightness test and, in some circumstances, means further testing or investigation may now be required at a property that has received Gas Safety Records without an issue for many years.
Importantly, it doesn't necessarily mean something has suddenly gone wrong.
However, if testing identifies an issue that means the installation cannot safely remain in operation, a Gas Safe engineer cannot simply ignore it because “it's always been like that”. In some circumstances, the affected appliance or gas supply may have to be isolated until the issue has been investigated.
We've put together a straightforward guide explaining what's changed, why a property can have a different result from previous years, and why further investigation may sometimes be necessary.
