Restore your heating system's efficiency. Remove sludge and debris. Fix cold radiators. Reduce energy bills.
Is your central heating system not performing as it should? Cold spots on radiators, noisy boiler, or high energy bills? Your heating system may be suffering from a build-up of sludge, rust, and debris. A professional powerflush can restore your system to peak efficiency.
At Mend Your Home, we provide expert powerflush and MagnaCleanse services across Crawley, Horsham, Redhill, Reigate, East Grinstead, Haywards Heath, Burgess Hill, and all surrounding areas in West Sussex and Surrey. Our thorough cleaning process removes years of accumulated sludge, improving heating performance and extending your system's lifespan.
Cold Radiator at the Bottom?
Or not heating up at all? You need a powerflush to remove sludge build-up
A powerflush is a comprehensive cleaning process for your central heating system. Using specialist equipment, we pump cleaning chemicals through your system at high velocity (but low pressure) to dislodge and remove sludge, rust, limescale, and other debris that has accumulated over the years.
This cleaning process is essential for maintaining an efficient, reliable heating system and is often required before installing a new boiler.
A magnetic filter (like MagnaClean) is installed on your heating system to continuously capture sludge and metal particles. It prevents future build-up, extends your boiler's life, and maintains system efficiency. Essential for protecting new boilers and highly recommended for all systems.
Why invest in a professional powerflush?
Remove cold spots and restore even heat distribution. Your radiators will heat up faster and more effectively throughout your home.
A clean system runs more efficiently, using less gas to achieve the same level of warmth. Save up to 25% on heating costs.
Eliminate banging, gurgling, and kettling noises caused by sludge restricting flow and causing hot spots in your boiler.
Reduce wear on your boiler and pump. A clean system lasts longer and suffers fewer breakdowns, saving you money on repairs.
Essential before installing a new boiler. Protects your investment and maintains manufacturer warranties.
More efficient systems mean less fuel consumption and lower carbon emissions. Better for your wallet and the environment.

Effective magnetic filtration system for moderate cleaning and ongoing system maintenance.
Best for: Moderate contamination, routine maintenance, and prevention
Powerflushes do not cause leaks - they may expose existing weaknesses that were already present. Here's what you need to know:
Exposing Hidden Leaks: Sometimes sludge has built up around small pinhole leaks or corrosion points, acting like a temporary seal. When the powerflush removes this sludge, it can expose these pre-existing leaks that were previously masked. This is actually beneficial as it allows us to identify and fix problems before they become worse.
Older Systems & Pressure: Older heating systems, particularly gravity-fed systems, may have old solder joints that have only experienced low flow pressure. A powerflush uses higher velocity water flow (though still at safe pressure levels) which can occasionally reveal weak joints that were on the verge of failing anyway. This is more common in systems over 20-30 years old.
Our Approach: We always inspect the system before starting and use appropriate pressure levels for the age and type of your system. If we identify any concerns, we'll discuss them with you before proceeding. Any leaks that do appear were already weaknesses that would have failed soon anyway - it's better to discover them during a controlled service rather than as an emergency later.
Note: If leaks are discovered during a powerflush, we can typically repair them on the spot or provide you with a quote for necessary repairs. This is much better than leaving hidden weaknesses in your system.
