What's involved

A specialist pump and chemical cleaner flush the system through, radiator by radiator, clearing out built-up sludge. It's worth doing before a new boiler install as much as on an older system — protects the investment either way.

When we'd say no

If the real fix is a bleed or a balance, that's what we'll recommend instead — we won't sell you a flush you don't need.

Get your system properly checked before we recommend anything.
