Importance of Central Heating Flushing & Filtration

At Jad Mottram Plumbing and Heating, we believe your central heating system should do more than just work—it should run efficiently, reliably, and last for years to come. Over time, even the best systems in homes across North Devon can suffer from a common issue: sludge and debris build up.

If you’re noticing cold spots on radiators, a noisy boiler, or rising energy bills in your home in South Molton, Winkleigh, Yelland, or Roundswell (Barnstaple), your system may need a central heating flush or magnetic filter installation.

Whether you’re upgrading a boiler or simply want to improve system efficiency, we offer expert solutions including MagnaCleanse flushing, power flushing, and Fernox filter installation.

Step 1: A Fresh Start with MagnaCleanse

Our MagnaCleanse system flush is one of the most efficient ways to remove sludge, rust, and debris from your central heating system—especially when paired with a new boiler installation.

Benefits of a MagnaCleanse Flush:

• Restores radiator performance

• Improves energy efficiency

• Reduces boiler noise

• Prevents boiler breakdowns

• Faster and less intrusive than traditional power flushing

💷 MagnaCleanse Cost: £800 (up to 10 radiators)
Ideal for homes in Winkleigh, Roundswell, and across North Devon looking to maximise heating system performance.

Step 2: Full Power flushing for Older Systems

If your system is heavily contaminated or over 10 years old, you may benefit more from a full power flush. This involves circulating high-strength cleaning agents through your entire heating system using professional power flushing equipment.

Power flushing can solve:

• Radiators cold at the bottom

• Discoloured water when bleeding radiators

• Slow system warm-up

• Repeated system repressurising

• Noisy central heating systems

We offer central heating power flushing in Barnstaple, South Molton, and beyond to restore full heating efficiency and prolong boiler life.

Step 3: Ongoing Protection with a Magnetic Filter

To maintain a clean and efficient system long after flushing, we recommend installing a Fernox TF1 Omega magnetic filter. This protects your boiler and radiators by capturing iron oxide sludge and non-magnetic debris.

Benefits of a Magnetic Boiler Filter:

• Continuous protection against sludge

• Increases boiler efficiency and lifespan

• Easy to maintain

• Helps comply with modern efficiency standards

💷 Filter Installation Cost: £295
Includes Fernox filter, central heating inhibitor, and professional installation. Ideal for new builds and newly installed boilers in South Molton, Yelland, or any home across North Devon.

Legal Requirement: Magnetic Filters & Part L Regulations

As of June 15, 2022, an update to Part L of the UK Building Regulations made it mandatory to install a magnetic filter with any new boiler.

Why this matters:

• Prevents future sludge build-up

• Maintains heating efficiency

• Reduces maintenance costs

• Ensures regulatory compliance

At Jad Mottram Plumbing and Heating, we’ve always included filters as standard. Now, it’s not just smart—it’s the law.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: How do I know if my heating system needs flushing?
A: Look for signs like cold spots on radiators, discoloured water when bleeding, noisy boiler operation, or a system that takes too long to heat up.

Q: What's the difference between MagnaCleanse and Power flushing?
A: MagnaCleanse is ideal for newer systems or moderate sludge build up. Power flushing is more intensive and best for older, heavily contaminated systems.

Q: Do you offer boiler filter installation in Winkleigh or Barnstaple?
A: Yes! We install magnetic filters in homes across Winkleigh, Yelland, Roundswell, and the wider North Devon area.

Q: How long does a Power flush take?
A: On average, between 4–8 hours depending on system size.

Q: Will a system flush damage my boiler or pipes?
A: No. When performed professionally (like with our team), both MagnaCleanse and Power flushing are completely safe and effective.
