My radiators

Ad hominem argument.

Justifiably so in your case.

Always dress as a gladiator before touching a radiator.

Radiators, you say, interesting, we get the Butler to constantly keep the wood fires burning in all rooms, no problems.

Damn!

Classic Suity posting style.

Asks on a subject where he professes to know nothing on then starts lecturing people that give him advice.

I didn't ask anything.

Since we moved into Benger towers in 09, we've always had problems with our heating. Elderly Gloworm boiler, and intermittent faults with the radiators. Several plumbers have mentioned the system is on it's last legs, and is heavily sludged. One plumber said that my radiators were only working at 25% efficiency. How do they measure this?

So I got a quote for power flushing. £450. So I looked into hiring a power flushing unit for the weekend. £160 + VAT + chemicals.

So I shopped around on ebay and got a second hand one for £141 (winning bid) which came with 2 bottles of Fernox, a bottle of Powerflush cleaner, a bottle of leak fixing stuff (around £80 worth).

And I've been at it for 3 solid days now. I'm on the penultimate rad.

I'm going to fit one of these



So there you have it, sometimes bleeding the radiators isn't enough. Once this is done I expect the contract market to pick up.

Thanks Dallas dad. I disagree about the black sludge. It is iron oxide, which is attracted to magnets.

Red rust (Ferric Oxide, Fe2O3) is not magnetic, but black rust (Ferrous Oxide, FeO) is.

Just a tip OG - Your sig is out of date, because no one is suggesting a second referendum. We've moved on now
