We carry out communal area cleaning in Cardedeu. We visit the property, assess the work, give you a clear price, and start. The second most frequent issue is a blocked or faulty thermostat valve. Modern valves with thermostatic heads have an internal pin that can seize after months of disuse (which happens every summer in the Costa Blanca area when heating isn't used). To prevent this, it's advisable to move the thermostatic heads to their maximum and minimum settings every couple of months during the low season. If the valve is stuck, the head is removed, the pin is freed with a very gentle tap, or the entire valve is replaced.

How we work

If the radiator continues to heat poorly after bleeding, there are other more serious potential causes. Limescale and sludge buildup is the first. Over the years, the water in the heating circuit generates oxides and mineral deposits that settle in the radiators, especially at the bottom. This sludge reduces the effective water flow area and creates cold spots. The solution is a chemical flush of the entire circuit with a specific descaling product, introduced with the boiler off, circulated for a few hours. It's completely drained before refilling with new water treated with a corrosion inhibitor.

When to call for communal area cleaning in Cardedeu

A very cost-effective improvement is installing thermostatic heads on each radiator. Each room has its own independent temperature control, allowing different temperatures to be maintained according to use (warmer in the living room when occupied, colder in a guest room when unused) and saving energy without losing comfort. Installation is simple when radiators already have conventional valves: we replace the manual head with a thermostatic one. For apartments with a central community boiler, the combination of thermostatic heads and individual consumption meters allows you to pay exactly for the heating consumed by each dwelling, which is much fairer than the proportional distribution by surface area used when there are no meters. This is a mandatory upgrade in many communities due to European regulations. Deep cleaning of the heating circuit water with a specific descaler to remove sludge and oxides. This should be done every 7-10 years or when persistent cold spots occur.

Materials and Brands

Low water content aluminium radiators are the most efficient for most modern installations. They heat up quickly, cool down quickly, and allow for precise time programming without compromising comfort. Panel tubular steel radiators are a common alternative with a good price-quality ratio. For bathrooms, we recommend towel rail radiators that combine room heating with towel drying. The Costa Blanca climate dictates everything done in a garden. Long, dry, very hot summers with little rain between May and September and a sun that scorches traditional lawns. A garden designed for Northern European climates, with lots of lawn and soft-leaved plants, consumes a huge amount of water and suffers in July and August. That's why more and more clients are opting for low-consumption gardens. Decorative gravel, Mediterranean plants (lavender, rosemary, oleander, cacti, and succulents), palm trees, and olive trees. Annual gas boiler maintenance, between 90 and 130 euros with certificate included. Simple breakdown repair (sensor, valve, pressure switch), 80-180 euros plus parts. Complete replacement of a natural gas boiler with a condensing model, 1,400 euros including installation depending on brand and power.
