Power Flushing & System Cleaning


Over years of use, central heating systems build up sludge and debris that restricts flow, causes cold spots and makes a boiler work harder than it should. A power flush clears it out and restores proper circulation through every radiator.

We recommend a power flush and magnetic filter whenever a new boiler is fitted onto an older system, so the new boiler isn't immediately working against years of built-up sludge.

The problems we are asked to fix


Radiators cold at the bottom

A classic sign of sludge build-up settling inside the radiator.

The fix  A power flush clears the debris and restores proper circulation through the system.

A noisy boiler, banging or kettling

Often caused by scale and sludge restricting flow through the heat exchanger.
