Powder Flushing
Boost Your Heating, Slash Your Bills

Is your heating struggling to heat up? Radiators cold at the bottom? Energy bills rising?

Powder flushing is a powerful cleaning process that restores your heating system’s performance, helps you save money, and protects your boiler long-term.

 

  • Improves efficiency

  • Saves up to 25% on bills

  • Extends boiler life

WHAT IS POWDERFLUSHING? 

Powder flushing uses a specialist cleaning powder combined with a high-flow flushing pump to break down and remove years of built-up sludge, rust, and debris in your central heating system.

It’s more intense than a standard power flush — ideal for older systems, neglected systems, or those with ongoing heating issues.

The Savings​

A dirty system works harder to heat your home. That means higher bills, more wear and tear, and more breakdowns.

After a powder flush, your system will run smoother and more efficiently — and you’ll feel the difference.

  • Save up to 25% on your heating bills

  • Cut costs by up to £300+ per year

  • Extend the life of your boiler and components

  • Reduce the risk of breakdowns

Protect your investment - especially if you’ve just had a new boiler installed

Signs You Might Need a Powder Flush

  • Radiators are cold at the bottom

  • Some rooms heat slower than others

  • Dirty or brown water when bleeding radiators

  • Your boiler is noisy or cuts out regularly

  • You’ve recently installed a new boiler

  • You haven’t flushed your system in years

The Benefits You’ll Notice 

Faster heat-up times

  • Warmth in every room

  • Lower energy bills

  •  Quieter boiler operation

  • Peace of mind your system is clean and efficient

It’s like hitting reset on your entire heating system – and it works!

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 a power flush all that goes back in is just clean water

WHAT GOES BACK IN?

Only clean, treated water.
We refill your system with fresh water and dose it with inhibitors to stop corrosion and sludge from forming again.

It’s not just a clean – it’s long-term protection.
 

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.

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.
