gas boiler kettling

Ciderboy · 2008-09-29 12:38:04

Hi Just had my boiler serviced and he noticed that the boiler was kettling and there was a drip coming out of the safety valve. He recommended that i do a system flush and the change the necessary valves at the same time. He said it would cost €600. Is this a good price? Could this flush be done anyone??

Getting the system flushed is a great way to get your rads heating like new.
But flushing won't get rid of kettling though ,you need to add chemicals and leave them a few week to work.

Maybe your service guy noticed other problems and found it easier to explain it the way he did.
