Sound familiar?
A powerflush helps your whole heating system work more effectively — and helps keep your bills down too.
Cold patches mean dirty water is stuck inside and the radiator has clogged up, so it struggles to keep you warm and your heating burns far more energy. A powerflush pushes the old water out and leaves radiators clean inside and warm all over.
Totally cold radiators with the heating on usually point to corrosion debris blocking the pipes between your boiler and radiators. The sooner it's flushed the better — left alone, those blockages can become permanent and need cutting out, which gets costly.
That worrying banging noise is called kettling: corrosion debris, limescale and rust blocking and damaging the heat exchanger. It drops efficiency and can make the boiler overheat and cut out. A flush clears the deposits so it runs at full power, quietly.
Water running hot then cold is often limescale and debris building up in a combi boiler's heat exchanger, restricting hot water flow. Left too long the exchanger may need replacing — a flush clears the build-up and avoids the bigger repair bill.
How it works
We test flow and return temperatures, check every radiator and confirm a flush is what your system actually needs.
High-flow pump plus industrial cleanser and magnetic capture, radiator by radiator, until the water runs clear.
System dosed with inhibitor, filter advice given, before-and-after temperatures recorded for your records.

Common questions
A powerflush is a deep clean of your central heating system. We connect a pump to the system and push water and cleaning chemicals through the boiler, pipework and every radiator at high flow but low pressure, lifting out the sludge, rust and limescale that has built up inside. Once the system runs clean we drain it, refill it and dose it with inhibitor to protect it.
Most domestic systems are done in a day. Larger properties, systems with a lot of radiators, or badly sludged systems can take longer — we'll tell you what to expect when we quote, before any work starts.
The usual signs are radiators with cold patches or cold at the bottom, radiators that stay stone cold with the heating on, a boiler that bangs or kettles, a boiler that keeps cutting out, hot water that runs hot and cold, or dirty black water when you bleed a radiator. Any of those point to debris circulating in the system.
In most cases, yes. Cold radiators and kettling are usually caused by corrosion debris and limescale blocking radiators, pipework or the boiler's heat exchanger. Clearing that restores circulation, so radiators heat evenly and the banging stops. If we find a fault a flush won't fix — a failed pump or a seized valve, for example — we'll tell you straight rather than flush and hope.
A clogged system makes your boiler work much harder to heat your home, so it burns more gas or oil for less heat. Clearing the blockages lets the system run at full efficiency again, which usually shows up as lower running costs and a warmer house on the same thermostat setting.
Price depends on the number of radiators and the condition of the system, so we quote per property rather than advertise a single figure. Send us your postcode or call 07375 125 565 and we'll give you a same-day quote with a fixed price — no surprises once we're on site.
We cover Kent and East Sussex, including Tunbridge Wells, Tonbridge, Sevenoaks, Maidstone, Cranbrook, Tenterden, Hawkhurst, Paddock Wood, Crowborough, Uckfield, Heathfield, Battle, Rye and Hastings. If you're just outside that list, call us — if you're nearby we'll still come out.
We work on a closed system with the pump connected to your pipework, so it stays clean and tidy — we sheet up where we're working and take our waste with us. We do need access to each radiator so we can flush them individually and check the results, so please make sure they're reachable on the day.
Yes. Every flush finishes with the system refilled and dosed with corrosion inhibitor, which is what stops the sludge building straight back up. We'll also tell you whether a magnetic filter would be worth fitting to keep the system clean long term.
