Power Flushing in Leatherhead
Systems in Leatherhead that serve period houses in the town centre, 1960s estates and larger homes towards Fetcham and Cobham often carry years of accumulated sludge, and hard water in this area adds scale. A flush can bring them back to proper working order.
Leatherhead is a short drive from Epsom along the Ashtead road, and we cover the town centre and the estates around it.
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.

Sludge is caused by corrosion inside the system, made worse by air, old water and the lack of inhibitor. Unfiltered systems collect it fastest. 1960s estates often have original copper pipework and heating systems approaching the end of their working life.

Possibly. Original copper pipework, cylinders and boilers from that period are now old. We check the condition honestly and tell you what is fine, what needs attention soon and what can wait.
It can. Higher ground water can affect cellars, drains and underground pipes. If you have damp or a pipe issue near the river, we will find out whether the water is coming from your system or from outside.
Water where it should not be? Heating off?
