Power flushing cleans sludge, rust and scale out of a central heating system using a pump and cleaning chemicals. Hepta carries it out in Wimbledon 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 Wimbledon
Systems in Wimbledon that serve grand Victorian houses, Edwardian villas, converted flats and modern developments often carry years of accumulated sludge, and hard water in this area adds scale. A flush can bring them back to proper working order.
Wimbledon is the commercial centre of the London Borough of Merton, with the Village near the Common and the town around the station.
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

Sludge is caused by corrosion inside the system, made worse by air, old water and the lack of inhibitor. Unfiltered systems collect it fastest. Wimbledon is divided between the Village near the Common and the town that grew around the 1838 railway station, so housing differs sharply from one part to the other.
