Expert Power Flushing Engineers in Edinburgh
Long-term use can clog your central heating system with dirt and sludge. This can explain why your radiators are not as hot as they should be or why some radiators do not get warm at all. Do you have any radiators that do this? A power flush might be the remedy.
This is primarily due to a lack of water quality testing in central heating systems. The dirt, sludge and magnetic particles that stick to the inner surfaces of pipework, radiators and even boiler components.
Dirt and sludge buildup can lead to part failures, poor performance of radiators and underfloor heating systems, and even total blockages of pipework sections.
Power flushing cleans and removes this contamination, keeping your central heating system working efficiently and helping to guard against boiler breakdowns and costly repairs.
We can also provide a system filter, which, once installed, will protect your system for years to come. A water quality test should be carried out during your boiler service, and the filter should be cleaned.
If your system has been in operation for a while, you don’t already have a system filter, or you notice that some of your radiators are cold or have cold spots, it could be time to have your system flushed. Get in touch today to find out how we can help!
Signs That Your Central Heating System May Need a Powerflush
If your central heating system isn’t functioning properly, here are some key indicators that a power flush may be necessary:
- Cold spots on radiators, particularly at the bottom
- Unusually loud noises coming from the boiler or the heating system pump
- Discoloured water when bleeding radiators
- Heating takes a long time to warm up
- Some radiators are slower to heat up compared to others
- Radiators remain cold while the pipes are hot
- The boiler frequently shuts down and needs resetting
- No water escapes when bleeding a radiator
- Noisy radiators or boiler
- Small leaks in radiators
If you notice any of these issues, it may be time to consider a power flush for your system.
Power Flushing Questions
Yes, power flushing radiators is often worth it if your heating system is showing signs of inefficiency, such as cold spots, slow heating, or noisy radiators. It helps improve performance, extends the lifespan of your boiler, and can reduce energy bills by clearing out sludge and debris.
Absolutely not. We use protective dust sheets and tidy up after ourselves.
There will be noise from our equipment, but customers should be able to continue like normal, and many still work from home while we do the power flushing.

I recently had my traditional heating system and accessories replaced with a combi boiler and am very satisfied with the results. From the initial inspection to installation, Ryan was professional and responsive. He explained the options and their pros and cons as well as recommended efficient choices based on my home's needs. The installation was quick and neat, also my home was left clean and tidy. I appreciate Ryan's expertise and commitment and I highly recommend him for gas heating services.

Kate Cargill AdamMarch 10, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ryan at Thermatek is trustworthy, knowledgable and skilled. We have only had positive experiences with him. He has recently come back to do our yearly boiler service which he completed thoroughly and booked us in automatically so I didn’t have to remember to contact him. When we lost our heating, he did FaceTime with us to help us get it working again in no time. Highly recommend!
