Power flushing in South Ockendon for owners and landlords.
South Ockendon sits in Thurrock, a short way from Aveley, Chafford Hundred and Grays, with Upminster just over the border in London. Much of the town was built in the post-war decades, and today some of its homes are lived in by their owners while others are let. We work with both, and the heating problems are much the same either way.
Steel radiators corrode slowly from the inside and shed black sludge, and the hard water in this part of Essex adds limescale. Over time the two settle in the radiators, pipes and boiler, and the system gets slower, noisier and more expensive to run.
Renting out a home in Thurrock?
Tenants usually spot a heating problem first, but they shouldn’t have to organise the fix. Reports like these are often a sign the system needs cleaning:
- Radiators cold at the bottom, or with cold patches
- Black or brown water when a radiator is bled
- A boiler that cuts out or keeps needing to be reset
- Banging or gurgling from the boiler or pipes
- Heating and hot water that are slow to warm up
When we carry out a power flush in a rented property, we work with your tenant to arrange access, but we deal with you, the landlord, directly. The documents, including the BS7593 compliance certificate and the guarantee, are emailed straight to you for your records.
Our engineers are fully trained and DBS checked, and we hold public liability insurance up to £5,000,000, which matters when someone is working in a home you don’t live in. Most homes take a day, and no radiators need disconnecting. The guarantee runs for 3 years, or 5 years with a MagnaClean filter fitted, as long as the boiler has its annual service and the inhibitor is topped up. If you’d like the service handled too, we offer Gas Safe boiler servicing.
