Powerflushing in Dover

Cold radiators or slow heating in Dover? Kent Powerflush covers Dover, River, Whitfield, Temple Ewell, Kearsney and St Margaret’s at Cliffe across CT15 to CT17.

Homes in Dover

Dover’s terraces climb steep hillsides, with older houses in town and newer estates at Whitfield. Hillside terraces and Victorian houses often have radiators on several floors, and the ones furthest from the boiler are usually the first to go cold when sludge builds up.

Homes on a hill

In tall or hillside homes, air tends to collect in the highest radiators, leaving the top of them cold. Bleeding helps, but frequent bleeding means corrosion, which a flush and fresh inhibitor deal with.

Super service from Kent Powerflush

They were polite and friendly but got on with the job in hand. Pete went over and above to establish the root cause of issues and resolve any problems. They were on time, tidy and just got on with doing a great job. Our system had not been flushed for many years. We were really pleased with the work done, would definitely use them again and I would not hesitate to recommend them. Many thanks Pete & Riley

Pete went out of his way to fit us in when the pipes to our boiler became blocked. He and Riley worked tirelessly to clear the blockage and get our central heating up and running. It has never worked better! They were polite, efficient and tidy. We would recommend them to anyone.

Do you cover Whitfield and River?
