Power flushing in Rochford and the villages around it.
Rochford is a short drive from our base in South Woodham Ferrers, so the town and the wider Rochford district are part of our regular patch. We work right across the district, including:
- Rochford town centre and the streets around the Market Square
- Hawkwell and Ashingdon
- Great Wakering and Canewdon
- Hullbridge, on the River Crouch
- Rayleigh and Hockley
The homes vary as much as the places, from older properties near the town centre to family houses on estates built over the past few decades. Whatever the age of the house, the trouble inside the pipes tends to be the same.
What goes wrong inside the system?
As steel radiators slowly corrode from the inside, they shed a black sludge that settles wherever the water moves slowest, usually along the bottom of the radiators and inside the boiler. Essex has hard water, so limescale adds to the build-up. Because it happens gradually, the signs are easy to blame on an ageing boiler: radiators that are warm at the top but cold at the bottom, black water when you bleed them, gurgling pipes, and heating that takes longer to warm up while the bills creep higher.
A power flush tackles the cause rather than the symptoms. If you’d like the detail first, read what power flushing involves.
How the day usually goes.
Most homes take a day, somewhere between 6 and 12 hours for an average house, and longer where there’s microbore pipework. Our Kamco flushing equipment connects to the system, so none of your radiators need taking off the wall. Cleaning chemicals loosen the deposits, a MagnaClean magnetic filter catches the sludge as it is flushed out, and a corrosion inhibitor goes in at the end to protect the system from here on.
When we finish, you receive a BS7593 compliance certificate. The work carries a 3-year guarantee, or 5 years with a MagnaClean filter fitted, provided the boiler is serviced every year and the inhibitor topped up.
