Power flushing in Woodford for larger family homes.
Woodford runs from South Woodford, around George Lane and the Central line station, up through Woodford Green to Woodford Wells on the edge of Epping Forest, with Woodford Bridge to the east. Most of it falls within the London Borough of Redbridge. It’s an area of substantial family houses, many of them Victorian, Edwardian or built between the wars.
Bigger houses mean bigger heating systems: more radiators, longer pipe runs and, where rooms have been added, a mix of old and new parts. That gives the black sludge from corroding radiators, and the limescale from London’s hard water, more places to settle, and it can leave the radiators furthest from the boiler struggling to get warm. Other signs include cold spots, dark water when you bleed a radiator, a noisy boiler and bills that keep rising.
How the day works.
Most homes take a day: 6 to 12 hours in an average house, though a larger home, or one with microbore piping, may take longer. Here’s what happens:
- Our Kamco power flushing equipment is connected to the system, so no radiators need disconnecting
- Cleaning chemicals are circulated to loosen sludge, rust and scale
- A MagnaClean magnetic filter captures the sludge as it is flushed out
- A corrosion inhibitor goes in at the end to protect the system
- You receive a BS7593 compliance certificate
Our engineers are fully trained and DBS checked, and we carry public liability insurance up to £5,000,000.
Looking after it afterwards.
We guarantee the flush for 3 years, or 5 if a MagnaClean filter is fitted. To keep it valid, the boiler needs servicing once a year and the inhibitor needs topping up. We can take care of the service with our Gas Safe boiler servicing. Customers can save up to 25% on their heating bills once the system is clean. If you’re adding radiators for an extension or replacing the boiler, that’s a sensible moment for a flush too, as a new boiler needs a clean system for its manufacturer’s warranty.
We also cover nearby Loughton, Buckhurst Hill and Chigwell. To arrange a free, no-obligation quote, call 0800 3277 448. If you’d prefer, our online estimate takes about a minute, and booking that way comes with a free £25 pump service.
