reason i was questioning for power flush was that bt engineers said power flush was neccessary as my boiler was firing up every few seconds and cutting out they said system was sludged up
but my radiators are running perfectly so i wondered if it was neccessary to spend £700 which they quoted me
once again thanks ernie watson
