Professional assessment and clear options

Cleaning is useful only when build-up is the real problem

Black system water, cold radiator sections, poor circulation and noise can indicate sludge or debris. Similar symptoms can also come from pump, balancing, valve or pipework issues, so diagnosis should come first.

Where a system clean is appropriate, the agreed method aims to improve circulation and remove contaminants before the system is refilled and checked.

Useful answers

Frequently asked questions

Have a different question? Send the details and the office will point you in the right direction.

Does every old heating system need a power flush?

No. A flush should be recommended because symptoms and system condition support it, not only because the system is old.

Will power flushing fix a broken radiator valve or pump?

No. Mechanical faults need repair or replacement. A system can have both contamination and failed components, which is why diagnosis matters.

How long does the work take?

Time varies with system size, condition, access and the number of radiators. The expected duration should be confirmed after the system is assessed.
