Power flushing in Croydon for every kind of home.
The London Borough of Croydon covers a lot of ground, and its housing changes as you travel across it. That matters for your heating, because the age and layout of a house shape how its system was installed and how much it has been altered since.
- Thornton Heath, South Norwood and Norbury: streets of Victorian and Edwardian terraces, where central heating was added long after the houses were built
- Addiscombe and Shirley: a mix of Victorian, Edwardian and inter-war houses
- Purley, Coulsdon and Sanderstead: mostly inter-war and post-war semis and detached houses in the south of the borough
- Central Croydon: flats, offices and shops, from converted older buildings to recent blocks
Why older systems clog up.
Most heating problems start inside the system. Steel radiators slowly rust from the inside, producing a black sludge, and London’s hard water adds limescale, which builds up in the boiler. Systems that have been extended over the years, with extra radiators or new pipe runs, give that debris more places to settle. The result is the familiar set of symptoms: radiators cold at the bottom, dirty water when you bleed them, a noisy boiler, and heating that takes ages to warm up.
What a power flush involves.
We connect Kamco flushing equipment to your system, so no radiators need disconnecting. Cleaning chemicals are circulated to break down the deposits, a MagnaClean magnetic filter collects the sludge, and a corrosion inhibitor is left in the system at the end. An average home takes 6 to 12 hours. Microbore pipework, common in systems fitted in the 1960s and 70s, takes longer.
We work on commercial premises too, from shops to offices; see our commercial work. Every job comes with a BS7593 compliance certificate and a 3-year guarantee, extended to 5 years with a MagnaClean filter fitted (an annual boiler service and inhibitor top-up are required). Our engineers are fully trained and DBS checked. If you let a flat or house in the borough, we work with your tenants on access but deal with you directly, and the paperwork and guarantee are emailed to you.
