Power flushing in Stanford-le-Hope for busy households.
Stanford-le-Hope and neighbouring Corringham are commuter country, whether that means the c2c into London Fenchurch Street or a drive along the A13. When you’re out all day, you rely on the timer to have the house warm when you get back, and a sluggish system soon gives itself away: the boiler fires up on time, but the rooms are still chilly an hour later.
That slow warm-up is often down to what’s inside the pipes. Steel radiators corrode slowly and shed black sludge, which collects at the bottom of the radiators and in the boiler, and Thurrock’s hard water adds limescale. The more there is, the harder the system has to work to heat the house, and the more it costs to run. Other signs include radiators that are cold at the bottom, black water when you bleed them, and a boiler that’s noisy or cuts out.
How long does it take?
Most homes take a day: between 6 and 12 hours in an average house, and longer if the pipework is microbore. No radiators need disconnecting, and our engineers are fully trained, DBS checked and covered by public liability insurance up to £5,000,000. Here’s what’s included:
- A full clean with Kamco power flushing equipment and cleaning chemicals
- A MagnaClean magnetic filter to capture the sludge as it is flushed out
- A corrosion inhibitor left in the system to protect it afterwards
- A BS7593 compliance certificate on completion
- A guarantee of 3 years, extended to 5 if a MagnaClean filter is fitted (subject to a yearly boiler service and inhibitor top-up)
Making the most of a clean system.
Once the system is clean, better controls can help you get more out of it. Our central heating upgrades include smart thermostats, thermostatic radiator valves and MagnaClean filters. Customers can save up to 25% on their heating bills after a power flush. If you’re thinking about a new boiler, it’s worth knowing that a clean system is needed for the manufacturer’s warranty, so the flush is a sensible first step.
