Power flushing in Braintree, from Bocking to Great Notley.
Braintree has a real mix of homes. There are older terraces and period houses around the town centre and in Bocking, post-war estates across the town, and a large amount of newer housing at Great Notley and on Braintree’s edges. Villages close by, such as Rayne, Black Notley and Cressing, each add their own blend of cottages and family homes.
Older systems tend to show their age in familiar ways: cold patches on radiators, dark water when you bleed them, and a boiler that seems a little noisier every winter. Newer homes aren’t immune, though. A system can be left with flux, debris and installation residue from when it was first fitted, and if it was never properly protected with inhibitor, the steel radiators start to corrode and produce sludge. Essex’s hard water adds limescale to the mix.
Fitting a new boiler in Braintree?
If you’re planning to replace your boiler, it’s worth looking at the water inside the system first. Most manufacturers expect a clean system before their warranty applies, and a new boiler connected to dirty pipework can soon suffer from the same debris that wore out the old one. Depending on the state of your system, the right approach may include:
- System dosing, where cleaning agents go in a week or two before the flush to loosen corrosion debris and light scale while you carry on using your heating
- A full power flush with Kamco equipment, with a MagnaClean magnetic filter capturing the sludge as it’s released
- A corrosion inhibitor to protect the system once it runs clean
- A new boiler installation, from brands including Viessmann, ATAG, Intergas, Ideal, Worcester Bosch and Grant
Most homes are finished in a day, usually 6 to 12 hours, or longer where there’s microbore piping, and no radiators need disconnecting. At the end you’ll receive a BS7593 compliance certificate, and the work comes with a 3-year guarantee, extended to 5 years with a MagnaClean filter fitted, provided the boiler is serviced annually and the inhibitor is topped up.
