What Is Power Flushing?

Power flushing is a cleaning process that removes sludge, rust, and scale from your heating system. Using specialist equipment, we circulate cleaning chemicals through your system at high velocity, dislodging and removing deposits that have built up over years.

The process cleans pipes, radiators, and the boiler heat exchanger, restoring efficient circulation and heat transfer. Unlike chemical-only cleaning, power flushing uses flow reversal and high velocity to physically remove stubborn deposits.

Signs Your Heating System Needs Power Flushing

Cold Spots on Radiators

If radiators are hot at the top but cold at the bottom, or have cold patches, sludge accumulation is likely the cause. Power flushing removes these blockages and restores even heating.

Some Radiators Stay Cold

When some radiators heat up whilst others remain cold, circulation problems from system debris are usually responsible. Power flushing clears blockages in pipes and restores flow to all radiators.

Noisy Boiler or System

Banging, kettling, or gurgling noises indicate sludge build-up affecting boiler operation. These deposits reduce efficiency and can cause premature boiler failure.

Frequent Boiler Breakdowns

Sludge entering the boiler can damage components, causing repeated breakdowns. Power flushing before installing a new boiler is essential to prevent contaminating the new system.

Slow Heating and High Bills

If your heating takes longer to warm up or energy bills have increased, system inefficiency from deposits is likely. Power flushing restores efficiency and reduces running costs.

Discoloured Water from Radiators

When bleeding radiators, black or brown water indicates significant sludge in the system requiring power flushing.

Our Power Flushing Process

We begin with a thorough assessment of your heating system, checking radiators, pipes, and boiler condition. We test water quality and identify problem areas.

Our specialist power flushing equipment connects to your heating system, typically at radiator connection points. We circulate cleaning chemicals through the system, using flow reversal to dislodge stubborn deposits. The process systematically cleans each radiator and all pipework.

We monitor discharged water quality throughout, continuing until water runs clear. The process typically takes 4-6 hours depending on system size and contamination level.

After flushing, we add corrosion inhibitor to protect the system from future build-up. This chemical treatment is essential for maintaining system cleanliness and preventing rapid re-contamination.

We test the system thoroughly, checking all radiators heat evenly and the boiler operates efficiently. We provide you with a power flushing certificate documenting the work completed.

Benefits of Power Flushing

Power flushing delivers immediate and long-term benefits. Your heating system will heat faster and more evenly. Radiators will be hot all over without cold spots. Energy efficiency improves significantly, reducing gas bills. Boiler reliability increases with reduced breakdown risk. System lifespan extends, delaying expensive replacements. Boiler noise reduces or eliminates completely.
