Powerflushing in Sunderland & Durham

Over the years, rust, sludge and debris build up inside your radiators and pipework. That black sludge settles at the bottom of radiators, blocks the flow and makes your boiler work harder than it should. You end up with cold spots, a system that is slow to warm through and, often, a noisy boiler.

A powerflush pushes a high flow mix of clean water and specialist cleaning chemicals through the whole system to lift and clear all of that out. We finish by adding a corrosion inhibitor that protects the system and helps stop it happening again.

A few tell tale signs your heating could do with a flush: radiators that are cold at the bottom but warm at the top, some radiators staying cold while others get hot, dirty or black water when you bleed them, a boiler that bangs, gurgles or kettles, or a system that takes an age to warm the house through.

It is also worth doing before a new boiler goes in. Fitting a boiler onto a dirty system can shorten its life and, on most makes, the manufacturer expects the system to be clean for the warranty to stand. We will always give you an honest view on whether you genuinely need one.
