🌡️ Don't wait for the first cold morning to figure out your thermostat.

A few minutes of autumn settings now can keep your Kent home comfortable without wasting energy:

✅ Set living areas to around 18–21°C
✅ Turn bedrooms and unused rooms down a notch or two
✅ Use your timer so heating comes on before you wake and switches off when you're out or asleep
✅ Turning the thermostat down just 1°C can trim roughly 10% off your heating bills
✅ Timing beats cranking it : find the lowest comfortable setting, not the highest

Small changes now add up through the colder months, and they're far easier to make before your heating's on every day.

If your thermostat, timer or heating controls are confusing, or your heating isn't responding as it should, our friendly team is here to help homeowners across Faversham and Kent.

⚠️ Before autumn arrives, take 60 seconds to check your carbon monoxide safety.

Carbon monoxide (CO) is invisible and has no smell, so a working alarm is essential protection for your home and family.

✅ Press the test button on every CO alarm and replace batteries if needed.

✅ Check alarms are correctly placed. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions, with alarms near sleeping areas and in rooms containing fuel-burning appliances.

✅ Book your annual gas appliance service with a Gas Safe registered engineer. Regular servicing helps identify safety issues before they become dangerous.

Watch for possible CO exposure symptoms, including headache, dizziness, nausea, unusual tiredness or breathlessness. If your alarm sounds or you suspect carbon monoxide, leave the property immediately, get fresh air and contact the emergency services. Do not return or use the appliance again until you have been advised it is safe.

A quick check now can give you greater peace of mind through the colder months.

🏫 Back to school? It could be time to reset your heating routine.

With September routines underway, setting your heating timer around the school run can help keep your home comfortable without heating an empty house all day.

Try this simple routine:

✅ Set the heating for a short period before the school run.
✅ Switch it off while the house is empty.
✅ Schedule it to come back on shortly before everyone gets home.
✅ Check your thermostat settings as the evenings start to get cooler.

You’ll come home to a warmer, more comfortable house while keeping your heating routine practical and efficient. Every home is different, so choose timings that suit your family and daily schedule.

⚠️ If your boiler timer is difficult to use, or your heating isn’t responding as it should, RK Plumbing & Heating is here to help families across Faversham and Kent.

🚨 Ventilate to stay safe : clear vents and fresh air matter in every home.

Fuel-burning appliances need a good supply of air to operate safely. Blocked vents or an obstructed boiler flue can increase the risk of unsafe operation.

A few simple checks can help:
✅ Never block air vents
✅ Keep the boiler and flue area clear
✅ Use extractor fans when cooking or showering
✅ Open windows briefly to reduce stale air and condensation
✅ Arrange an annual service with a Gas Safe registered engineer

Good ventilation helps, but it never replaces professional servicing or a carbon monoxide alarm.

If your CO alarm sounds, or you suspect carbon monoxide exposure, leave immediately and seek emergency help. Do not re-enter until you have been advised it is safe.

Has the heatwave finally broken? Kent mornings are starting to feel cooler, so your heating may soon be coming back on for the first time since spring. 🔥

Before autumn really sets in, take a moment to check:

✅ The boiler fires up and stays on
✅ Radiators heat evenly, with no cold spots
✅ There are no new drips or leaks around valves
✅ There’s no unusual smell : a normal burning-dust smell can happen on first use
✅ Boiler pressure sits safely in the green zone

If your boiler won’t stay on, a radiator remains cold, you spot a leak, or something doesn’t smell right, don’t ignore it. Stop and get professional help.

A quick check now can help prevent a chilly morning later. RK Plumbing & Heating is here to help homeowners across Faversham and Kent with friendly, reliable advice and support.

Is your boiler making a noise you’ve never heard before? 🔧

Different sounds can point to different problems:

🔴 BANGING : “Kettling” caused by limescale or sludge restricting water flow.

🔵 GURGLING : Often trapped air in the system. You may be able to bleed your radiators if you know how to do so safely.

🔵 WHISTLING : Low pressure or restricted water flow could be the cause. Check the pressure and only top it up if you’re confident and your boiler instructions allow it.

🔴 DRIPPING OR RATTLING : This could indicate a leak or a loose component and should be checked by an engineer.

⚠️ When should you call for help?
If the noise is persistent, getting worse, your boiler is losing pressure, or you notice a leak, turn the boiler off if needed and contact a Gas Safe engineer. Never remove the boiler casing yourself.

For friendly, reliable boiler advice in Faversham and across Kent, give RK Plumbing & Heating a call.

💧 Find your stop tap before a leak happens.

Knowing where it is : and checking that it works : could help limit water damage during a plumbing emergency.

Common places to look:
✅ Under the kitchen sink
✅ Near the front door
✅ In a utility room, garage or airing cupboard

Once you’ve found it, turn the handle clockwise to shut off the water. Test it gently, and keep the area clear so you can reach it quickly when needed.

⚠️ Never force a stiff stop tap. If it is stuck, leaking or difficult to turn, call a qualified professional for help.

🍂 Is your boiler ready for the first cold snap?

A few simple checks now can help keep your Kent home warm and comfortable this autumn:

✅ Annual service : Arrange a service with a Gas Safe registered engineer, especially if your boiler has not been checked in the last 12 months.

✅ Boiler pressure : Check the pressure against your manufacturer’s guidance. If it keeps dropping or you’re unsure what it should be, get professional advice.

✅ Radiator cold spots : Cold areas may indicate trapped air or a circulation issue. Bleeding a radiator can help, but persistent cold spots should be inspected.

✅ Thermostat and heating controls : Test your thermostat, timers and smart controls before you need them every day.

✅ Book early : Autumn appointments can fill quickly. Booking your service or repair now means less worry when temperatures fall.

⚠️ Never ignore unusual smells, leaks, banging noises or signs of a carbon monoxide problem. Turn off the appliance if it is safe to do so and seek professional help.

Are your radiators cold at the top, making gurgling noises or taking longer to warm up? They may need bleeding. 🔧

Bleeding your radiators releases trapped air, helping hot water circulate properly and keeping your home warmer and more comfortable ahead of the colder months.

Here’s how to do it safely:

🔵 Switch off your heating.
🔵 Let the radiators cool completely.
🔵 Place a cloth or container beneath the bleed valve.
🔵 Use a radiator key to open the valve slowly. You should hear air escaping.
🔵 Close the valve when water begins to appear.
🔵 Check your boiler pressure afterwards and follow the manufacturer’s instructions if it needs adjusting.

Top tip: Bleed radiators before you start using your heating regularly, and check them again if they develop cold spots or begin making unusual noises.

If you’re unsure, notice a leak, or your heating still isn’t working efficiently, our friendly team is here to help homeowners across Faversham and Kent.
