Powerflushing - what is it?

'Power, Jet or Hard Flushing' - there are several names for this useful, innovative service.
Basically, it involves cleaning your central heating system with fresh water flow at a high velocity but at a low pressure.
And by adding powerful cleansing and mobilising agents we further improve the cleansing process.

Power Flushing removes sludge, limescale and corrosion deposits from the system.
This prevents excessive noise, increases efficiency and protects against future damage - including possible boiler failure.
It’s hassle-free, there’s no mess and, at the end, your system is left with fresh clean water.

We would advise to Powerflush your system:
- Prior to fitting a new boiler
- If there is sludge in the system
- If the radiator water looks dirty
- If your radiators are cold or partially cold
- If your radiators need bleeding regularly
- When your boiler is making noises or theres noises coming from the pipework

Many modern boilers, while more efficient and less damaging to the environment, are susceptible to problems caused by debris in the system. That’s why we strongly recommend Power Flushing as part of your overall heating maintenance program.

How does it work?
The power flushing pump is simply connected into the heating system, either across standard circulator pump couplings, across the tails of one radiator, or wherever most practicable.
The powerful flow, combined with instantaneous flow reverse device, will dislodge and mobilise deposits and corrosion which resist traditional system cleaning methods.
Once the corrosion and sludge deposits have been loosened and mobilised, clean fresh water is forced through the heating system, pushing the contaminated water out through the pump's drain to waste. During this process, radiators are individually flushed, without removing or disconnecting them from the system, by directing the full output of the pump through each radiator separately.

How much is a Power Flush?
You should always get a couple of quotes from a few companies so you know you're not spending too much!
We only charge £40 per radiator.
Depending on how many radiators you have within the property the powerflush can take a couple of hours or anything up to a full day.
The cost of chemicals, materials and use of the machine is charged on top.
