Ballpark charge for power flushing 10 rads, system boiler OV

[Jim Goodenough]

Hi all,

Would someone give me an idea of what you'd charge to power flush a 10 rad system (I'll hire machine from BSS).
15mm pipework (NOT 8 or 10)
Glow-worm Flexicom 24hx boiler
Open vent.

Cheers Jim

Doing one next week Jim £300 all in Ideal icos ov 12 rads cleaning chemicals are in loosening up the debris . Kop

Depends how bad but I would say around a day to day and a smidge so 300-400

I'm with Shaun, I'd be starting at £400. Predose the system and leave to run for a week, then do the flush (more chemicals). It may well be more if you consider that the pipework will probably need reconfiguring/ air seperator in the airing cupboard

A long days work, plus the chemicals, plus a pre treatment , to do this properly
only get the best in, cheap skates will take your money, screw your heating up
and never come back. cemtralheatking

did you get the job?

In my part of the world and at the last company I worked for it was £400 for a powerflush up to ten radiators and then an extra £10 per radiator above that number.
