Power Flushing in Stoneleigh

Systems in Stoneleigh that serve interwar semi-detached houses laid out around the station, which opened in 1932 often carry years of accumulated sludge, and hard water in this area adds scale. A flush can bring them back to proper working order.

Stoneleigh sits between Ewell and Worcester Park, and its roads are mostly interwar semis that have been altered and extended over the decades.

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 Stoneleigh

  • 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

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 Stoneleigh 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. The Ewell Court Stream, a tributary of the Hogsmill, runs through Stoneleigh, so a wet garden or damp wall is worth tracing before anyone assumes a burst pipe.

It depends on the whole system. In houses of this age the radiators and pipework are often older than the boiler, so we check them before advising whether to repair or replace.

Yes. A kitchen or bathroom at the back of a semi can mean a long run from the boiler. We plan pipe sizes, routes and insulation so hot water reaches the new room properly.
