How to Tell Your System Needs Flushing
- Radiators warm in patches or taking ages to heat up
- Boiler making banging or kettling sounds
- Boiler breaking down more often than it used to
- House takes too long to reach temperature
- Dirty brown or black water when you bleed a radiator
- Bills going up even though nothing has changed
- One or more radiators that simply will not get warm
- Heating pump keeps failing or making noise
Assessment
We check flow rates and temperature drops across your radiators to confirm sludge is the problem and the system is suitable for flushing.
The Flush
Cleaning chemicals and high-velocity water are pumped through every radiator and pipe run until all the sludge, magnetite, and scale is gone.
Protection
Clean water goes back in with Fernox or Sentinel inhibitor to prevent corrosion. A magnetic filter goes on to catch particles before they build up again.
Getting a New Boiler?
If you are having a new boiler installed on an existing system, Worcester Bosch, Vaillant, Baxi, and most other manufacturers insist on a power flush before they will honour the warranty. We can do the flush on the same day as the boiler installation or beforehand - whichever suits you.
Sludge Buildup in South Yorkshire Hard Water Areas
Doncaster sits in one of the harder water zones in South Yorkshire. Yorkshire Water supplies most of the borough, and the water hardness across DN postcodes typically runs between 150 and 300 mg/l calcium carbonate. That means limescale builds up faster in your boiler heat exchanger and pipework, while the combination of hard water and dissolved oxygen accelerates the corrosion of steel radiators and produces more iron oxide sludge than you would see in a soft water area.
Properties in Armthorpe, Hatfield, and Thorne tend to have particularly hard water because of the underlying limestone geology east of Doncaster. Homes in Bentley, Balby, and Intake are not far behind. The result is that heating systems across the Doncaster area need flushing more frequently than the national average - every 5 to 7 years rather than the commonly quoted 10.
After every power flush we dose the system with Fernox F1 or Sentinel X100 corrosion inhibitor, which slows down both scale formation and iron oxide production. Combined with the magnetic filter we fit as standard, this keeps your central heating system running cleanly for years.
