Remove sludge from your central heating system. From £400 for a typical 3-bed house. Improves efficiency and fixes cold radiators.
Power flushing clears black sludge (magnetite) from your central heating system. This sludge builds up over years from corrosion inside radiators and pipes. It blocks water flow, makes radiators cold at the bottom, and forces your boiler to work harder.
We connect a powerful pump to your heating system and push water and cleaning chemicals through at high velocity. This breaks up and removes the sludge. We capture it in filters so it doesn't go back into the system. Once clean, we add inhibitor chemical to stop new sludge forming.
A clean system heats up faster and runs more efficiently. Can save £100-200 per year on gas bills.
All radiators get hot properly. No more cold spots or rooms that never warm up.
Sludge makes boilers work harder and fail sooner. A clean system extends boiler life by years.
Stops banging, kettling, and gurgling noises caused by sludge and air trapped in the system.
Clean pipes and radiators heat up in minutes, not hours.
Reduces wear on pumps, valves, and heat exchangers. Less chance of expensive repairs.
We cover Colchester, Wivenhoe, West Mersea, Tiptree, Stanway, and surrounding areas. Power flushing done in one day.
From £400 for a typical 3-bed house.
No obligation. We reply within 4 hours Mon-Sat.
No. We connect the power flushing pump to your heating system via existing drain points. All the sludge is captured in filters and disposed of properly. No mess in your home.
Every 5-8 years for most systems. If you've just had a new boiler fitted, power flushing first protects it from existing sludge and can be a warranty requirement.
No, the system needs to be off while we work. But we're usually finished within a day, and you can use the heating again that same evening.
It depends what's wrong. Power flushing can fix problems caused by sludge (cold radiators, low pressure, noisy boiler). It won't fix a faulty pump, broken valve, or worn-out heat exchanger. We'll advise honestly.
