CH not circulating... Now what?!

We are in Berkshire, near Bracknell/Reading.

Should we try sluicing out all the radiators? Is there a way to stop an explosion of inky black liquid when we do? The water is like black paint.

Why was the rad water so SO much dirtier than the water from the system?

the rad water is so much dirtier because sludge will have collected along the bottom of the rad, which is dislodged when flushing through. when you take a rad off close off both rad valves just incase the system is not completely empty.

How strange is that ! I lived in Bracknell for 20 years, just off Binfield road now moved back to west country, 400 cleaner will need more than a few days, I would have used Fernox F5 heavy duty cleaner, will send you a private message with a couple of local plumbers near to you.
