Cleaner water, better heating without replacing everything
Prime Plumbing & Heating is built on honest advice, tidy workmanship and results that make a real difference. Many boiler breakdowns and heating performance issues are caused by dirty system water—sludge, rust and debris that builds up over time inside radiators, pipework and the boiler itself.
A power flush uses a specialist cleaning solution and high-flow equipment to circulate through your central heating system, lifting and removing the buildup that restricts flow. The result is better circulation, improved radiator heat output and a heating system that runs more efficiently—often extending the life of your boiler and reducing the chance of costly call-outs.

We had a really old boiler system that needed replacement. We used the Worcester Bosch ( WB) fast track service to have a local WB accredited engineer come out and do a survey and provide a quote. We were lucky enough to be allocated Prime Plumbing and Heating and Ricky came out to look things over. He spent about 20-30 minutes reviewing our boiler and advising us on our options. He really knows what he’s talking about and is so professional and also a really nice chap, we felt in capable hands and so it proved. The team he sent out to do the work were all excellent, they worked so hard over 3 days and were all highly skilled and very courteous and professional. Their work was very clean and tidy. In our experience Prime Plumbing and Heating provided a service that exceeded our expectations. Thank you so much to the whole team.Posted on A STrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent work and customer service.
