having just paid out £475 for a powerflush, to find out my system is still full of sludge and that @&!! Won't come back, going to attempt it myself, hiring a machine from hss. Am I crazy? Anyone up for giving me instructions from the very top (I've no plumbing experience). It's an old (newly...

Just did that and got this muck out of it (see pic). First question: Bearing in mind the magnaclean was last cleaned four days ago, should I be getting this much muck just over a week after a powerflush? (After I just cleaned it, the boiler fired up for 20 secs, spat, gurgled and switched off...

Five days since the pipe around the pump was replaced, the system has stopped working again (no hot water or heating). The water doesn't appear to be getting to the boiler, again. Bearing in mind I know little about plumbing, the history of what is happening suggests it is gunge in the system -...

Cheers Tony. Yeah he was a friendly chap, but that ain't going to get my heating working!

Might also be worth noting that when I switch boiler on and off, it fires up and green light comes on fur around 20 secs, then light goes off...boiler gurgles for 30 seconds or so, then just stays off (blue light but no green light).

Hi, any help appreciated. In Nov 2015 we had 8 new rads put in and piping replaced to rads, and buried in walls. 3 old rads were kept in kitchen and utility room). The water then never got round the system properly (50% ish of rads worked at a time, including the old rads consistently. Which...
