Central Heating

Central heating systems have become extremely sophisticated offering high efficiency to the user. Repairing and installing central heating systems requires high levels of qualification, skill and experience. Modern systems can combine complex components such as condensing (combination) boilers, unvented hot water cylinders and digital heating controllers. Our Gas Safe registered central heating engineers are fully trained and qualified to design, install, repair and service your central heating systems.

Bathrooms

We create good looking, well functioning and long lasting bathrooms by paying attention to details and using high quality materials. All complete bathroom installations carry a confident one year guarantee.

Power Flushing

There are thousands of ageing central heating systems with circulation and boiler noise problems caused by the accumulation of sludge, corrosion deposits and scale, but traditional methods of flushing just don't get rid of all the debris, and problems often quickly return. Power Flushing is an expression used to denote the process by which heating systems are forcibly cleansed using water at high velocity, but low pressure, so no physical damage is caused to the system. The process can be made even more effective with the addition of powerful cleansing and mobilising agents.

When To Carry Out a Power Flush

It is prudent to power flush a heating system immediately before fitting a new boiler to an existing system to prevent possible future problems. Many systems are found to contain corrosion and sludge, even if no flow problems have yet shown themselves.

The high efficiency and compactness of modern boilers, developed to minimise fuel costs and pollution, means that they are more susceptible to problems caused by debris in the system water.

By utilising the flushing pump, it enables heating systems to be purged of sludge, scale and corrosion deposits with minimal dismantling and disruption.

How does it work?

The power flushing pump is simply connected into the heating system, either across standard circulator pump couplings, across the tails of one radiator, or wherever most practicable. The powerful flow, combined with instantaneous flow reverser device, will dislodge and mobilise deposits and corrosion which resist traditional system cleaning methods.

Power Flush FX2: dissolves iron oxides, sludge and limescaleOnce the corrosion and sludge deposits have been loosened and mobilised, fresh clean water is forced through the heating system, pushing the contaminated water out through a full bore dump valve to waste. During the process, radiators are individually flushed, without removing or disconnecting them from the system, by directing the full output of the pump through each radiator separately.

At the end of the flushing process, the system contains fresh clean water and reinstatement of the system to normal operation takes only a few minutes.

System flushing will not remedy design or mechanical faults, which should be rectified, but in many cases it will cure the problems caused by these. Power flushing prices start from £300
