The housing in Fulham

• Victorian terraces dominate SW6 — Munster Village, Parsons Green and the streets around Bishops Park. Most have been through at least one boiler conversion, and a good number have microbore pipework that silts up and leaves radiators cold at the bottom.
• Basement and side-return extensions are very common here. These usually add underfloor heating or extra radiators to a system that was never sized for them, which is why so many Fulham houses have one room that never gets warm. That’s a balancing and sizing problem, not always a boiler problem.
• Loft conversions adding a bathroom on the top floor, where water pressure then becomes the complaint rather than heat.
• Rented property throughout, especially around Fulham Broadway — plenty of landlord gas safety certificates.
• Riverside flats at Sands End and Chelsea Harbour border, where managing agents set the rules on flues and pipework.

The one-cold-room problem

If you’ve extended and one room never heats properly, don’t let anyone sell you a new boiler before they’ve checked the simple things. Nine times out of ten it’s system balancing, a stuck valve, or a radiator too small for a room that’s now twice the size. All far cheaper than a boiler.
