WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A POWER AND A POWDER FLUSH?
Both clean your heating system, but powder flushing uses a specialist cleaning powder along with high-pressure pumping to break down more stubborn sludge and debris. It’s often more effective for older or more blocked systems.
SIGNS YOUR SYSTEM MAY NEED FLUSHING
If your boiler isn’t working consistently well, or your home doesn't feel as warm as it should, with radiators on maximum setting, we can perform a powerflush or powderflush to get your central heating system back up and running, working to its full potential.
-
You haven't flushed your system in years
-
Your system's over five years old
-
Parts replaced but still poor flow
-
Boiler noises (banging, whistling) or cuts out regularly
-
You've recently installed a new boiler
-
No magnetic filter is fitted
-
Radiators slow to heat
-
Radiators are cold at the bottom
-
Cold spots on radiators
-
Dirty or brown water when bleeding radiators
WHAT COMES OUT... ISN'T PRETTY!
We often remove:
• Thick black sludge
• Rust and scale
• Metal from inside radiators
• Years of poor water quality
All of this restricts flow, ruins boilers, and wastes gas.
And yes – we take it all with us. No mess left behind.
After every power flush, we issue the official BS 7593:2019 certificate – your proof the system is clean and protected.
✔️ Required by many boiler manufacturers
✔️ Keeps your boiler warranty valid
✔️ Shows inhibitor has been added
✔️ Adds value to your home
✔️ Peace of mind you’ve done it right
Without this certificate, your warranty could be void, even if your boiler is brand new. Please contact us with any questions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between a power flush and a powder flush?
Both clean your heating system, but powder flushing uses a specialist cleaning powder along with high-pressure pumping to break down more stubborn sludge and debris. It’s often more effective for older or more blocked systems.
Will it make a mess in my home?
Not at all. We use professional equipment and protective sheeting to keep your home clean and tidy. You won’t even notice we’ve been – apart from the warmer house!
Do I need one if I’m getting a new boiler?
Yes – we strongly recommend it. A dirty system can damage a new boiler, and most manufacturers now require a flush to protect your warranty. Powder flushing gives your new boiler the clean start it needs.
Is it worth the cost?
Absolutely. A powder flush can help you save up to 25% on energy bills, prevent breakdowns, and extend the life of your system. It’s an investment that pays for itself quickly.
How often should I get my system flushed?
We recommend a flush every 5–7 years, or sooner if you’re having heating issues. If in doubt, we can test your system and let you know.
