Power flushing in Epsom
Power flushing cleans sludge, rust and scale out of a central heating system using a pump and cleaning chemicals. Hepta carries it out in Epsom for cold radiators, noisy boilers and slow heating. Call 07477 877199 or use the form and we will explain whether a flush will help your system.
Power Flushing in Epsom
Systems in Epsom that serve Victorian and Edwardian terraces near the town centre, 1930s semi-detached houses and newer flats often carry years of accumulated sludge, and hard water in this area adds scale. A flush can bring them back to proper working order.
Epsom is where we are based, on Cox Lane, so a lot of our day to day work is close to the town centre.
Over time, heating water breaks down the iron in radiators and pipes and creates a thick black sludge. It settles at the bottom of radiators and clogs pipes and the boiler. The result is cold patches, noisy running and a boiler that works harder than it should.
What it covers
- Flushing the whole system radiator by radiator
- Cleaning chemicals suited to the condition of the system
- Testing flow and temperature after the flush
- Fitting a magnetic system filter
- Inhibitor added to protect against future corrosion
- Flushing before a new boiler is fitted
When to call in Epsom
- Radiators that are cold at the bottom or in the middle
- A boiler that is noisy or keeps overheating
- Black or brown water when you bleed a radiator
- Heating that is slow to warm up

Yes. Epsom is one of our main towns, and we also work in Ewell, Ashtead and Banstead. Epsom is where we are based, on Cox Lane, so a lot of our day to day work is close to the town centre. Call 07477 877199 or send the details online.
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. Include your road in Epsom so we can plan the visit.
Sludge is caused by corrosion inside the system, made worse by air, old water and the lack of inhibitor. Unfiltered systems collect it fastest. Older terraces near the centre often still have original lead or mixed pipework that has been patched over the decades.

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. Homes in Epsom include Victorian and Edwardian terraces near the town centre, 1930s semi-detached houses and newer flats.
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. Homes in Epsom include Victorian and Edwardian terraces near the town centre, 1930s semi-detached houses and newer flats.
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.

Yes. Our address is 47a Cox Lane, Epsom, KT19 9NA, and Epsom is the town we work in most often. That means Epsom enquiries are close to home for us rather than a long drive across the county.
It can. Epsom is built on chalk, so limescale collects in showers, taps, hot water cylinders and boilers. Over time it restricts flow and reduces efficiency. A descale, a flush or a water treatment fitting can help, depending on what we find.
Yes. Older terraces often have pipework that has been altered many times, with old and new materials joined together. We look at what is actually in the walls and floors before suggesting any repair, so the fix lasts.
