Power Flushing in Reigate
Systems in Reigate that serve semi-detached and detached houses, period properties near the old town and flats around 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.
Reigate is a Surrey market town at the foot of the North Downs, with a historic centre and mostly semi-detached and detached housing.
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.

- Flushing the whole system radiator by radiator

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 Reigate 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. Semi-detached and detached houses dominate, so extended systems with long pipe runs to kitchens and bathrooms are common.

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.

Yes. We check the boiler, pump, valves and controls, and balance the radiators so every room heats evenly. We tell you plainly what is fine and what needs attention.
Yes. Flats bring shared pipework and neighbours below, so we plan isolation and floor protection and tell you what to pass to your managing agent.
Turn off the stopcock, open the cold taps to drain the pipes, switch off electrics near the water if it is safe and call 07477 877199. We will talk you through the next step.
