Power flushing in your area

Cold areas at the bottom of radiators, black water when bleeding, a noisy boiler and slow heating are the usual signs. We look at the system and water condition to confirm before recommending a flush.

Properly done, it should not. But very old or heavily corroded radiators may already be weak, and cleaning can reveal a leak. We assess the condition first and tell you the risk before we start.

It is often a good idea. Debris from an old system can damage a new boiler. Flushing, then fitting a filter and inhibitor, protects the new boiler and helps the whole system run better.

A magnetic filter is fitted near the boiler to catch iron debris circulating in the system. It protects the boiler and pump, and needs little upkeep. We recommend one after any flush.

It depends on the number of radiators and how dirty the system is. We explain how long we expect to need when we have looked at the system, and plan the day so you know what to expect.

We are based in Epsom and cover Epsom, Ewell, Ashtead, Leatherhead, Banstead, Cheam, Sutton and Worcester Park, along with Stoneleigh, Esher, Chessington, Cobham, Surbiton, Kingston upon Thames, New Malden, Carshalton, Wallington, Purley, Coulsdon, Reigate, Redhill, Croydon, Morden and Wimbledon. Each of those has its own page for power flushing, and you can also send us your town through the contact form.

Feel which radiators are cold and where on the radiator the cold patch sits. Bleed any that need it and note whether the water that comes out is clean or dark.

Which radiators are cold, the age of the system and boiler, whether any radiators have been replaced, and whether a new boiler is planned.

Sludge is caused by corrosion inside the system, made worse by air, old water and the lack of inhibitor. Unfiltered systems collect it fastest.

Yes. Use the contact form with your name, phone number, town and a short description of the job. Pick a preferred contact time if you like; it is a preference only. For anything urgent, call 07477 877199.
