Common questions about heating upgrades in Standon
Is it dangerous to keep topping up?▾
Not immediately — but the cause needs finding. Repeated top-ups mean fresh oxygenated water keeps entering the system, which corrodes radiators and pumps from the inside.
Where do hidden leaks usually hide?▾
Pressure relief valve discharging outside, perished pump seals, pinhole leaks at radiator valves, or a failing expansion vessel. Each one has a different fix.
How much does a power flush cost?▾
Typically £450–£750 depending on system size and number of radiators. We give a fixed price after a quick survey.
Do I really need a power flush?▾
If radiators have cold patches, your boiler is noisy, or you're fitting a new boiler to an older system, yes. Otherwise a chemical flush and magnetic filter is often enough.
