Hi,

Is it normal/usual or acceptable for there to be this much metal filings in a heating system following a new boiler installation only 5 weeks ago?

A supposed Chemical Flush was completed as part of the installation process.

No it was actually installed by a company in Berkshire, but another plumber spotted this after draining the system to fit some radiators.

I can't understand why there would be so much in the system if the flushed it all out correctly during the install.
 
Get them back to do a proper flush
