Power flushing in Walton-on-the-Naze and Frinton.
Walton-on-the-Naze sits on the Tendring coast, with the cliffs of the Naze and the 18th-century Naze Tower just north of the town. Walton grew as a seaside resort in the 19th century, and alongside its older houses there are bungalows, newer homes and properties that are only lived in for part of the year. We cover the town along with Frinton-on-Sea, Kirby-le-Soken and Kirby Cross.
Wherever it is, a heating system ages from the inside. Steel radiators slowly corrode and shed black sludge, and the hard water across Essex adds limescale. Both settle in the radiators, pipes and boiler, and the system gradually loses its edge.
Heating that sits idle for months?
A system that’s switched off for long spells, or left ticking over on frost protection while a property stands empty, doesn’t stay clean by being left alone. Sludge settles in the radiators and pipes when the water isn’t moving, and pumps and valves can stick after a long idle spell. Then, when the house is opened up for a winter weekend or a new booking, it takes an age to warm up, or a radiator stays stubbornly cold.
Signs worth watching for, whether the house is lived in all year or not:
- Radiators cold at the bottom or patchy across the middle
- Black or brown water when you bleed a radiator
- A boiler that’s noisy, or that cuts out
- Rooms taking far longer to warm up than they used to
A power flush clears that build-up. Most homes take a day (6 to 12 hours for an average house, longer with microbore pipes), no radiators need disconnecting, and a corrosion inhibitor is left in the system afterwards. You also get a BS7593 compliance certificate.
Keeping it in good shape.
Your flush is covered by a 3-year guarantee. Fit a MagnaClean filter and that becomes 5 years, provided the boiler is serviced annually and the inhibitor kept topped up. We can take care of the annual service with our Gas Safe boiler servicing, and we offer system dosing as well. If you let the property out, we deal with you directly and email the certificate and guarantee to you.
We cover the rest of the Tendring coast too, including Clacton-on-Sea and Harwich. Give us a call on 0800 3277 448 for a free quote with no obligation, or use our online estimate if you’d rather see a rough figure first.
