Chemical Machine Descaling

We deal with hot water calorifiers and direct water fired boilers where there is no record of inspection or descaling. 

While cylinders are more difficult to access and clean than cold water systems, cylinders will often have a higher risk of Legionella growth. 

Scale also reduces the efficiency of your hot water system and the heat exchanging surfaces will increase your running costs.

We will drain and open cylinders for inspection to assess the level of the scale problem and make decisions about immediate action and future maintenance. 

Where scale is found, this can be removed through a combination of manual removal and acid chemicals and a machine.

Regular inspections ensure that your water system continues to run safely and the equipment remains effective throughout the year. Depending on the level of risk, we will advise the best practice on moving forward.

Lucas Plumbing & Heating Ltd can carry out a site visits and produce a detailed risk assessment and quotations to give an estimate of the risk posed by Legionella bacteria to your building.
