Power Flushing for Central Heating Systems
Over time, central heating systems build up sludge, rust, debris and magnetite. That contamination restricts circulation, reduces efficiency and leads to costly breakdowns. Our professional power flush clears it out, restores proper flow and protects your boiler. Fixed pricing from £495 including VAT.
Restore your heating to its best
A heating system clogged with sludge and rust has to work much harder to warm your home. Radiators take longer to heat, some never get warm at all, and your boiler is put under constant strain. Left alone, it quietly pushes up your energy bills and shortens the life of your boiler.
A power flush uses specialist equipment and cleansing chemicals to clear that build up out of your radiators and pipework, then refills the system with fresh water and a corrosion inhibitor to keep it clean. The result is faster, more even heat, better efficiency and a boiler that is far less likely to break down.
Signs you may need a power flush
If any of these sound familiar, sludge is likely building up in your system
Cold spots on radiators
Patches that stay cold while the rest of the radiator warms up point to sludge blocking the flow.
Cold at the bottom
A radiator that is hot at the top but cold along the bottom is a classic sign of sludge.
Slow to heat up
If the whole house takes an age to get warm, circulation is being restricted.
Noisy boiler or pipework
Banging, gurgling or kettling noises often mean debris is moving around the system.
Frequent breakdowns
Repeated faults and call outs can often be traced back to a dirty heating system.
Dirty radiator water
Black or brown water when you bleed a radiator is corrosion and sludge in the system.
Rising energy bills
A clogged system works harder and burns more gas to heat your home.
