WHAT FAILS HERE
Heating faults common in Forest Hill
Forest Hill's well-preserved homes are a treasure, but their original heating systems frequently tell a story of gradual decay, with sludge being the silent culprit behind many breakdowns.
01
Sludge build-up causing cold spots
Long-serving systems in unmodernised properties often have years of magnetite sludge settled in radiator bottoms, blocking heat transfer. An engineer will feel for cold patches at the base of radiators and may check a sample of system water for black discolouration to confirm contamination.
02
Noisy boiler and failing components
System corrosion produces sludge that can wear out pump seals, block heat exchangers, and cause kettling noises. Diagnosis involves listening for pump strain, checking for magnetite on the pump shaft, and assessing if a power flush is needed before any new parts are fitted.
