Powerflushing in Hampshire, Kent and the Surrounding Areas | Specialist Cleaning for Central Heating Systems
Our registered central heating engineers use powerflushing equipment to rid boilers, radiators and pipework of deposits and sludge. A powerflushing unit can force water through the system at high speeds to dislodge the different contaminants that build up over time. Solar Thermal UK Ltd can improve your boiler and central heating efficiency, increasing the lifespan of appliances and any related system products. All engineers have the required registration.
Areas covered by our company include:
Hampshire | Kent | Surrey | Sussex | South London | West London
Powerflushing is a maintenance choice for regional properties where heating efficiencies have dropped due to contaminant build-ups.
Our units, referred to as pumping stations, remove dirty water and sludge by introducing clean water to the central heating system. On jobs with a high volume of contaminants, our engineers use a chemical additive to break down deposits before connecting the pump station and powerflushing.
Typical times to powerflush a system range from a few hours to a full day.
The Powerflushing Process
1. After setting up the pump station, the engineer flushes the system in both directions. With troublesome sections and heavily contaminated radiators, engineers may use agitators to release the internal deposits.
2. The powerflushing stage takes 90 minutes to two hours. The engineer will then add a chemical neutraliser to the system and flush it again. A pH balance check stops acidic water from causing internal corrosion.
3. Next, the engineer introduces an inhibitor to the central heating system to protect against corrosion and to slow down contaminant growth in the future. Completion times vary on the system’s size and condition

When to Book in for Powerflushing
Homeowners should consider powerflushing if their radiators generate heat on the top only, when radiator removals indicate contaminants in the central heating system, if poor circulation has become an issue, or if the header tank in the loft starts to overflow (although the latter could indicate an incorrect pump speed). Powerflushing has a positive impact on heating efficiency, and you should notice an instant increase in your system’s overall performance.
If you have booked in for a new boiler installation, we advise you have the rest of your central heating system powerflushed, especially if you own a period property with older radiators. Your engineer will check pH balances and corrosion levels to determine whether powerflushing is needed or not.
Only registered Gas Safe personnel have the authority to powerflush.
Remember that powerflushing isn’t the solution to every heating problem. If your boiler is in disrepair, or if there is an indication of pressure loss, there could be a worn part or a leak in the boiler. The qualified heating engineers at Solar Thermal UK Ltd will assess the condition of boilers and central heating systems prior to starting work to guarantee you a fair, transparent appraisal.
