Homes in Whitstable

Holiday lets and second homes

Lots of Whitstable homes are holiday lets or second homes, and their heating can sit unused for long spells. Getting the system flushed and protected with fresh inhibitor before the busy season means fewer cold-radiator complaints from guests.

Super service from Kent Powerflush

They were polite and friendly but got on with the job in hand. Pete went over and above to establish the root cause of issues and resolve any problems. They were on time, tidy and just got on with doing a great job. Our system had not been flushed for many years. We were really pleased with the work done, would definitely use them again and I would not hesitate to recommend them. Many thanks Pete & Riley

Pete went out of his way to fit us in when the pipes to our boiler became blocked. He and Riley worked tirelessly to clear the blockage and get our central heating up and running. It has never worked better! They were polite, efficient and tidy. We would recommend them to anyone.

Powerflush questions from Whitstable

I let my Whitstable house to holidaymakers. When’s the best time for a powerflush?

Between bookings, ideally before autumn. It’s a one-day job and we’ll fit in around your calendar.

Do you cover Tankerton and Chestfield?

Yes, all of CT5, including Tankerton, Chestfield, Swalecliffe, Seasalter and Yorkletts.

Is hard water the same as sludge?

No. Hard water leaves limescale, mostly on the hot-water side. Sludge is black rust from inside radiators. We’ll tell you which you have.

How much is a powerflush in Whitstable?

It depends on your system and how many radiators you have. We come out and give you a free, no-obligation quote. Ask about our current winter offer.

How long does it take?

We use top-of-the-line professional powerflushing equipment, the best in the industry. That means we can complete a full home powerflush in a single day, leaving your system clean and clear. You’ll need to be in, and the heating and hot water will be off for part of the day.
