Common signs include cold spots on radiators, slow heating, noisy pipes or a boiler that keeps cutting out. If your system hasn’t been flushed in several years, it’s worth having it assessed.

Our powerflushing service starts from €900 for up to 10 radiators. Pricing varies depending on the size of your property and the number of radiators. Get in touch for a specific quote.

A typical powerflush takes between four and eight hours depending on the size of the system and the level of contamination present.
