Things Broxbourne customers usually ask about heating upgrades
Top cold, bottom hot — what's that?▾
Air in the radiator. Usually a 30-second bleed sorts it. If the same radiator keeps re-airing, you may have a slow leak or a corrosion gas problem.
Bottom cold, top hot — what's that?▾
Sludge build-up at the bottom of the radiator. Often fixable with a powerflush or a dose of system cleaner. Whole-system sludge usually means a powerflush is the right call.
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.
