Power Flush Hire

[kiltedcamel]

I am going to hire a power flush machine, probably for the weekend in case I can't get it done in 1 day.

Which of these is better (if any)

Or are there better alternatives?

Also which chemicals are most effective?

Thanks

That will cost you nearly £120 for the weekend hire, plus ~£30 for the chemicals. I would see if you can't get a plumber in who will do the job for £200-£250.

£200 - £250!!

I have had 5 quotes ranging from £430 to £800, and I only have a 1 bed flat with 4 radiators.

That's why I want to do it myself.

I will cap the vent and cold feed, remove pump and fit power flush.

Just wanna know which chemicals are best.

If you only have 4 rads I would just mains flush each rad out.
Unless the prices quoted were to actually remove blockages in pipes too?
If blocked solid a machine probay won't shift it.
