Power flush Nottingham

[slacky]

Hi

I'm looking for some quotes to power flush my heating system. Combi boiler with 6 rads in the house.

Thanks

Its a bit how longs a piece of string pal. Without coming round and seeing what boiler how old install is ie valves/ lack of, type of system.. some fellow red un might be along soon who you can pm..

 

[slacky]

I understand mate. I can try answer a few questions. 5 out of the 6 rads was changed few weeks ago and they was pretty old so can see most of the pipe work being the same. The 5 rads all had new trvs and lockshields fitted and the boiler is a glow worm betacom 30c

[tamz]

PM Redsaw but he might notice it later

 

[helpsy]

Do you have microbore pipework?

 

[slacky]

Nope not microbore if it's what I think it is, flexible copper pipe sort of similar to what air con lads use?

 

[helpsy]

Isn't ac pipe used 1/4"

 

[helpsy]

Microbore 8/10mm

 

[slacky]

Is microbore like the flexible copper?

 

[REDSAW]

where in nottingham are you?

 

[slacky]

In hucknall

 

[REDSAW]

are the pipes to the rads slightly thicker than a pencil or the size of your index finger?
whats this flexable pipe, on all rads?

how old is the boiler and is it a combi?

yes, i cover hucknall.

 

[slacky]

Not sure how old the boiler is I purchased the house in January I'll upload a pic of the pipes and no there's no flexible pipe I was just asking if that's the microbore stuff?

 

[helpsy]

15mm pipe

[newcastle phill]

Stan is the man !

 

[helpsy]

How many people who do powerflushes, do it on their own?

 

[Ermintrude]

We send second years out with a lad till they get hang of it. Then off on their own . Show custards magnatight at end to show the mess that's come out. Worst ever was about 20kg sludge from old school .

 

[Jcrabb]

We charge £250.00 for up to 10 rads

 

[SAW]

£250 !

 

[newcastle phill]

We charge £250.00 for up to 10 rads

What you using - washing up liquid

 

[SAW]

Wilko own brand.

 

[Jcrabb]

I always use x800 and I take all day to do the flush.
I think it's a fair price for a day's work.
I don't see how you can justify charging more.

 

[SimonG]

Too cheap.

Days labour.
Chemicals.
Either hire or wear and tear on machine.
Profit.

 

[helpsy]

You certainly won't be flush at the end of the job!

 

[Jcrabb]

Bull pats! That's what we charge and we still make a profit.
The whole thing comes from British Gas' extortionate prices.
Im all for making a profit but not for overcharging for what is essentially just a days work
ihave my own machines which have more than paid for themselves now
im happy with that price. I'll let you know if I need help with my pricing structure in future though
cheers

 

[Mike Jackson]

What area do you work, you can come and flush my systems for that price.

 

[SimonG]

Might pay a wage but you aint making a profit.
