Power Flush Cambridge
At Cambs Heating, we’re your local experts for anyone searching for a power flush in Cambridge. If your radiators are cold, your boiler is noisy, or your heating system isn’t performing as it should, a professional power flush could be the solution — and we’ll guide you through every step.
Using high-powered flushing equipment, we pump water through your central heating system at high velocity. This is combined with specialist cleaning chemicals to break down sludge, rust, and other debris. The dirty water is then flushed out, removing contaminants and leaving your system clean, efficient, and fully operational.
⚠️ Please note: Power flushing is not suitable for micro-bore pipework systems.

Chemical Flushing Cambridge
A Gentler Way to Clean Your Heating System
At Cambs Heating, we offer professional chemical flushing in Cambridge as a safe and effective way to clean your central heating system, especially in cases where power flushing isn’t suitable.
Chemical flushing involves adding a specially formulated cleaning solution to your heating system and allowing it to circulate through the radiators and pipework for a set period. These chemicals work to break down and dissolve sludge, rust, and limescale buildup. Once the system is cleaned, the solution is flushed out and replaced with fresh water to ensure a clean and efficient system.
This method is ideal for systems with lighter contamination, microbore pipework, or older heating systems that may not withstand the higher pressures involved in power flushing. It’s a gentler, lower-pressure alternative, but does require a working flow of water throughout the system to be effective.
✅ Best suited for: microbore pipework, older systems, or minor sludge buildup
⚠️ Note: Water flow is required for the cleaning solution to reach all areas of the system.

Power Flushing vs Chemical Flushing – Which One Do I Need?
At Cambs Heating, we offer both power flushing and chemical flushing services in Cambridge – but which one is right for your heating system?
🔧 Power Flushing
Power flushing is typically used for very dirty systems with severe buildup. If your radiators have cold spots, your boiler is noisy, or there are completely blocked pipes, this high-pressure method is the most effective solution. It uses powerful pumps and specialist chemicals to thoroughly clean out sludge and debris, restoring system performance.
-
Best for: Heavily contaminated systems, cold radiators, blockages
-
Not suitable for: Microbore or very old, fragile pipework
-
More intensive and typically higher cost
💧 Chemical Flushing
Chemical flushing is a gentler and more cost-effective method, ideal for light to moderate contamination. A chemical cleaning solution circulates through the system to dissolve sludge and limescale. It’s especially suitable for microbore systems or older pipework that can’t handle the higher pressure of a power flush.
However, for a chemical flush to be effective, there must be at least some water circulation around the system. Fully blocked sections cannot be cleaned with this method.
-
Best for: Mild contamination, microbore pipework, older systems
-
Requires: Working water flow throughout the system
-
Less aggressive, lower cost
