WHAT FAILS HERE

Heating faults common in Becontree

Becontree's historic housing stock means we frequently encounter heating systems that have never been chemically cleaned, making sludge diagnosis and power flushing a standard part of the job here.

01

Sludge-related boiler lockouts and cold spots

Decades-old systems with original radiators are prone to magnetite sludge build-up, which can block the boiler's heat exchanger or cause circulation issues. An engineer will check for black, magnetic sludge at radiator bleed points and assess system water quality to confirm the need for a power flush.

02

Noisy operation from pump and radiators

Corrosion debris circulating in an un-inhibited system causes a distinctive gurgling or knocking sound, indicating significant contamination. Diagnosis involves listening for pump cavitation, checking for cold bottoms on hot radiators, and inspecting the magnetic filter if one is fitted.
