Central Heating Radiator Flush

[Jetl3on]

Anyone had a Radiator Power flush and a filter thingy attached to your system to prevent buildup of sludge? British Gas charge £720 and 10year guarantee, Independents charge £280 for 7 Rads with 1 year guarantee. British gas say the independent's methods are no good and its not the same, ad they dont do the job properly, expect that from them but any truth in it?

I do one with every new boiler I install. You need to make sure the operator knows what they are doing, otherwise all you are doing is moving muck around the heating system.

It makes a huge difference to the performance and the crud that comes out of some systems is amazing!

How do you make sure they know what they are doing?

But you get unlimited reflushes if it needs doing again.

Try getting you local indie to that in 10 years time FOC

Yes, very true, BG man said that too. But my logic is, I don't believe it has ever been done in 20 years, so the chances of needing another flush in 10 years is unlikely, no?

Thanks for the advice, anyone have any recommendations that cover the London area?
