Power Flushing
Power Flushing Service For Central Heating Systems
The best and fastest way to clean a central heating system is to use a power-flush. Under controlled conditions, water and a chemical cleaner are pumped around the system to get rid of all the sludge and waste contained in the pipes and radiators. Cleaning all the pipes, valves, radiators, and boiler. Power-flushing is an established process and designed not to damage your pipes while still getting rid of stubborn limescale, corrosive sludge, and other waste.
If central heating system is 10 years or older then it is advisable to power-flush the system. Cleaning the system of rust and sludge allow the radiators to work better and the boiler will last longer. It makes it easier for water to flow through pipes and radiators, which in turn will heat your home quicker. Should you be considering power flushing your system, please call us. We will provide upfront pricing with no hidden costs, so you know exactly how much it costs before approving the work.

What does a power flush do?
A power flush removes sludge, limescale, and rust that has accumulated inside the pipework, radiators, and central heating boiler elements. After a power flush your radiators will feel hotter and work better as the hot water inside them can cleaning touch the metal and is not insulated by a layer of sludge and grime.
Your heating system might be clogged if your hot water or wall radiators takes a long time to heat up or if the temperature in your home never feels quite hot enough. This is problem is generally found in an old boiler and heating system of 7 – 10 years installed.
How long does a power flush take?
A lot of our Power flushes need a full day, which lasts about eight hours. The reason for this is that we mix and circulate multiple batches of cleaning fluid through your heating system. We repeat the process until the cleaning fluid stays clean after circulating through the heating system. This indicates all sludge, grime and limescale has been successfully removed. It also depends on the size your home, how many radiators you have, and how dirty or clogged up your present heating system is. Our heating engineers will keep you update on progress throughout the process.

If all your drains are flooding or backing up it indicates that the main sewer pipe running from your home is blocked. Call a plumber immediately as these blocks can be difficult to remove. Blockages like this need tackled with sewer rods or a high-pressure water line to break up the blockage and flush the drains.
Frozen pipes generally occur outside the home or in loft spaces where there is no heating. Ensure all water and heating pipes in these areas are lagged with a high-quality lagging material. We recommend foil backed lagging material of either rockwool or fibreglass. Lagging is a long-term solution, so it is important to get it right. Call us if you need professional help.
The main cause of high water bills are running toilets where the toilet reservoir fails to shut off the incoming water once full. They can be hard to spot as the leak is generally silent. Look out for discoloration in the toilet bowl as continuous running water will generally discolour the bowl. Look out for small ripples or shimmering water on the surface of the toilet water. As leaks can remain silent, hidden or difficult to spot it is best to call a plumber.
