Powerflushing in Folkestone

Cold radiators, a noisy boiler or heating that never quite gets going in Folkestone? Kent Powerflush covers Folkestone, Cheriton, Sandgate, Hawkinge and Hythe across CT18 to CT21.

Homes in Folkestone

Folkestone has big Victorian and Edwardian houses in the West End and along the Leas, many of them now split into flats, plus terraces in Cheriton and newer family homes up the hill at Hawkinge. In tall houses and conversions the heating has often been extended more than once, and sludge settles in the radiators furthest from the boiler.

Tall houses and converted flats

A system that runs over three or four floors, or one that was split when a house became flats, often has long pipe runs and radiators that never get hot at the bottom. A powerflush clears the whole system radiator by radiator, and we protect floors and stairs as we go.

Where we cover around Folkestone

Postcodes CT18, CT19, CT20 and CT21, including Folkestone town centre, the West End, Cheriton, Sandgate, Hawkinge, Capel-le-Ferne, Densole and Hythe.

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.

Powerflush questions from Folkestone

Do you cover Hythe, Sandgate and Hawkinge?

Yes: Folkestone town, Cheriton, Sandgate, Hawkinge, Capel-le-Ferne, Densole and Hythe.

Our radiators upstairs are cold but the ones downstairs are fine. Is that sludge?

It can be, or there may be air trapped up there, or the system may need balancing. We check before we recommend a flush.

Can you flush the system before I get a new boiler?

Yes, and it’s the best time to do it, so the new boiler starts on clean water.

How much is a powerflush in Folkestone?

It depends on your system and how many radiators you have. We come out and give you a free, no-obligation quote. Ask about our current winter offer.
