RECOGNISE THE SIGNS
Do any of these
sound familiar?
These are reasons to get your heating checked. They don’t always mean you need a power flush.
Some rooms stay cold
Some radiators heat up well while others stay lukewarm.
Slow or noisy heating
Your home takes longer to warm up, or your heating makes unusual noises.
Dirty heating water
An engineer has found sludge or dirty water during a repair or service.
WHY CLEAN THE SYSTEM?
What is power flushing?
Over time, rust and dirt can build up inside radiators and pipes. This sludge can make it harder for hot water to move around your home.
A power flush uses a pump and cleaning solution to loosen the sludge and wash it out. When sludge is the cause, this can help with:
- Radiators heating more evenlyHelp hot water reach cold areas.
- Rooms warming up more easilyImprove flow where sludge is slowing it down.
- Cleaner water inside your heatingRemove dirt and add treatment to help reduce future rust.

Ask for a quoteGOOD QUESTIONS
Before you book.
A few things you might want to know.
How much does a power flush cost?
The price depends on the size and condition of your heating system and how easy it is to access. Tell us roughly how many radiators you have and we’ll discuss a quote before you book.
How long will it take?
It can take several hours, sometimes a full day or longer. We’ll explain the likely time and any interruption to your heating or hot water before you book.
Does every cold radiator need power flushing?
No. Trapped air, a faulty valve or a problem with how water is shared between radiators can also cause cold spots. That’s why the cause needs checking first.
Can an older system be power flushed?
It depends on the system. Very narrow pipes, heavy blockages or worn parts may need a different approach. We’ll discuss what is suitable for your home.
Do I need a power flush with a new boiler?
Not always. Your system needs the right type of clean for its condition and the new boiler’s instructions. A power flush is one option.
