Power Flushing in Purley
Systems in Purley that serve 1920s and 1930s suburban houses, Edwardian-style homes on the Webb Estate and flats near the station often carry years of accumulated sludge, and hard water in this area adds scale. A flush can bring them back to proper working order.
Purley is in the London Borough of Croydon on the A23, with most of its housing built during the 1920s and 1930s.
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.

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 Purley 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. Parts of Purley sit on chalk spurs of the North Downs, so limescale in showers, taps and boilers is a common cause of weak flow and noisy heating.

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. Homes in Purley include 1920s and 1930s suburban houses, Edwardian-style homes on the Webb Estate and flats near the station.
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. Homes in Purley include 1920s and 1930s suburban houses, Edwardian-style homes on the Webb Estate and flats near the station.
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. Homes in Purley include 1920s and 1930s suburban houses, Edwardian-style homes on the Webb Estate and flats near the station.
Yes. We diagnose and repair boilers in flats and houses. In a flat we also look at the flue and condensate route, and flag anything that needs your managing agent.
The system may be sized for fewer outlets, or the pump and pipework may be limiting flow. We assess the circuit and balance or upgrade the parts that are holding it back.
Yes. We look at your hot water use, bathrooms and pipework, recommend a combi, system or regular boiler, and flush the existing circuit so the new boiler starts clean.
