How It Works
Survey and Written Quote
A trained engineer carries out a system survey, checks boiler and radiator condition, then issues a clear written quote that lists what is included and any recommended extras.
Power Flushing Procedure
We connect the flushing machine, circulate chemical cleaners and high flow to dislodge sludge and magnetite, then fit a magnetic filter or inhibitor where needed.
Final Check and Report
System pressures and flows are tested, radiators balanced and a written report provided with maintenance advice and recommended follow up.
Frequently Asked Questions
Typical jobs vary by system size and condition. A small two radiator system may be completed in a few hours, while a larger or heavily blocked system can take longer. Your initial survey will give a realistic timescale and clear expectations before any work starts.
Yes, power flushing treats cold spots caused by sludge and magnetite by clearing the blockages. If cold spots are caused by faulty radiator valves, trapped air or a poorly balanced system, we identify those issues during the survey and include any recommendations in the report.
We use trade approved chemicals and neutralise them as part of the flushing process. Engineers follow manufacturer instructions and safety data. We advise on safe handling during works and clean up thoroughly afterwards.
When carried out by accredited engineers, power flushing is safe and designed to protect the boiler by removing debris that causes wear. Flo-Rite UK is Gas Safe and Ideal accredited so systems are treated in line with manufacturer guidance to avoid damage.
Frequency depends on system age, previous maintenance and water quality. Many homeowners benefit from a flush when symptoms appear, and then periodic checks. We include long term recommendations in the final report so you can plan maintenance without unnecessary work.
