Price for a power flush

[armyash]

Just seen someone advertising a power flush (max 10 rads) for £350 - 10% so £315. Seems a bit cheap to me.

I have never done a power flush so can't say if that is a decent price or not. What do you guys charge, is that a reasonable price to charge?

Just asking out of interest really

Seems alright... Minus inhibitor & cleaner still a good days wage!

Some powerflushes are better than others tho

350 to 400. A days pay, plus odds and sods, plus 50 against my machine.

Mine are £325 plus vat including all chemicals, up to 10 rads.

Oh yeah sorry I forgot the 0 at the end ha ha ha.

Seriously though I love it when asked for a price for a flush, and custard says they have had a price from BG, or such, could probably double that price of £325 and still get the job

Cheers guys, I have never done a power flush so lack the confidence to quote. How do you price according to rads if more than 10?

How do you carry out a power flush? one lad said to me, take a rad off, connect up machine then off you go.

Have a look here, it will give you the basics:
Kamco User Guides

look at the quick guide.

Over 10 rads then it is £32.50 + vat per extra rad.

The main thing I have encountered when doing them is most people think they are a "cure all" solution, which we all know they are not

When I first went on my own about 12 year ago I got one straight away.
Never had my gas, knew nothing about boilers. Still don't.
Anyway, they were a nightmare. Like he said and probably more so pre internet, customer thought they would cure all. For the money, who can blame them. When I did them,they caused more bother! I hate them
The first 2 out of 3 I did, I didn't get paid. I think I knackered a pump on the first one which in turn blew a fuse on the boiler. The pump was ancient - I think I was charging about 200quidI reckon BG were charging 700-800. How much now??
The next one I spent all day flushing the system and one or two rads wouldn't get hot. The rads were piped in 6mm? So I should have known it wasn't going to work. I had no experience of heating.I only asked for payment on the chemicals. I ended up selling the pump after about 5years.
Bought another off Ray last year, used it once and I want rid again!
A customers boiler man reckoned her Biasi wouldn't work cause it needed a flush. After 1-2days I gave up. Boiler was faulty.....

Can anyone remember the national Powerflush company that used to advertise a lot using an elephant logo?! Red elephant I think. I wonder if theyre still going. I think they advertised in the plumbers mag, think it was a franchise
