Power flushing in Loughton and Debden.
Loughton sits on the edge of Epping Forest, in Epping Forest District, with the Central line linking it to London. Its homes are varied: older houses and period properties, the large Debden estate built by the London County Council after the Second World War, and newer flats and houses built since. Whatever the age of your home, the same problem catches up with most heating systems eventually, and that problem is sludge.
Common questions about power flushing.
How do I know if my system needs a power flush?
The most common signs are radiators that are cold at the bottom, black or brown water when you bleed them, a boiler or pipes that bang and gurgle, a boiler that cuts out, and rooms that are slow to warm up. Rising heating bills are another clue. They’re caused by corrosion inside the system turning into sludge, often with limescale from Essex’s hard water on top.
Do you need to take my radiators off?
No. We connect a Kamco power flushing pump to your system and push cleaning chemicals through each radiator in turn at high flow, without disconnecting any of them. A MagnaClean magnetic filter captures the sludge as it comes loose, and once the water runs clear we refill the system with corrosion inhibitor to protect it.
How long does it take?
Most homes are done in a day, around 6 to 12 hours in an average house. Properties with microbore piping take longer.
What do I get at the end?
- A clean system, protected with corrosion inhibitor
- A BS7593 compliance certificate
- A 3-year guarantee, or 5 years with a MagnaClean filter fitted, as long as the boiler is serviced every year and the inhibitor is topped up
Is it worth it?
A clean system heats up faster, runs more quietly and puts less strain on the boiler, and customers can save up to 25% on their heating bills. Our page on the benefits of a power flush goes into more detail.
