Common questions about heating upgrades in Ivy Chimneys
Why don't you publish fixed prices online?▾
Because every job is different. The "from £1,499" you see on national sites almost never includes flue, system flush, controls, or any pipework changes — the bits that always come up.
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.
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.
