Hi All,
Ive been trying to tackle a problem with three radiators I have downstairs that appear to have significant sludge buildup. Hot on top and cold across most of the radiator/s.
I intitially got a powerflush done by a local plumber/Gas engineer but this failed to shift any sludge. We then decided to remove the said radiators and flush with a hose pipe and this seemed to flush quite alot of sludge out of all three raditors black oil in consistency.
Upon reinstating the radiators they still fail to warm up sufficiently, now my question is would it be worth trying to flush them again or just bite the bullet and buy new ones. There fairly large double panel 600x1400 so would be quite expensive. Is it quite common for a radiator to be that sludged that even flushing fails to shift the sludge?
Cheers
