No. Only a gas safe registered engineer can do that.

:welcome: to the forum bwinley Do you live in a hard water area? There are chemicals you can buy at the local DIY shop that you can put in the system to attempt to fix the issue! However is may be sludge not scale or even a faulty component that's producing the symptoms so it may pay to have someone take a look? IMHO

Agreed.
