No Hot Water in Acocks Green: Boiler or Cylinder?
Afterglow Plumbing & Heating Limited, a family run plumbing and heating firm based in Sheldon, Birmingham, covers hot water cylinder installation and repair in Acocks boiler relocation in Edgbaston Green and across Birmingham and Solihull. Check the power, the pressure gauge and the gas supply first, note any fault code, and leave the casing on, because inside is gas work.
Why has the boiler stopped giving hot water?
Start with the simple checks: power, pressure, and whether the gas is on elsewhere. A fault code on the screen is worth writing down, since it points at the likely part. Do not take the casing off; the inside of a boiler is gas work.

Who is behind the business?
Vic Mullan launched Afterglow Plumbing & Heating Limited in 2009. A five-year apprenticeship came first, then installing and servicing for a national utilities company, then his own firm.
The business is family run, with Vic now training his son. It works from Sheldon, and 78% of its work is repeat custom or recommendation.
Why are my radiators working but I have no hot water?
On a combi boiler, this commonly means the diverter valve is stuck on the heating side. On a system with a cylinder, look at the cylinder thermostat, the timer and the hot water zone valve.
How do you know the system is full of sludge?
A power flush pumps water and cleaning chemicals through the heating circuit at high flow, shifting the black sludge that settles in radiators and pipework. Inhibitor goes in afterwards to slow the corrosion behind it.
Look for radiators cold along the bottom, dirty water at the bleed screw and a boiler that bangs. Afterglow Plumbing & Heating Limited power flushes heating systems, frequently while on site for a service.
