Water very clean so I don't think it needs a power flush or anything
A powerflush might still be a good thing. The difference is that the usual force of the water in the normal CH circuit isn't enough to move the sediment/crap that piles up in the middle of the radiator.

A more thorough (but more expensive) approach is removing each of the radiators and flushing them individually whilst also turning them round/over so that the sediment is disturbed.

It turned out to be a load of air in what I didn't realise was the next radiator along.
There are three radiators in our loft extension, the one which wasn't working then two which badly needed bleeding.
Once I'd bled them and topped up a bit with the filling loop all good. Water very clean so I don't think it needs a power flush or anything, I didn't bleed
much water - just lots of air - so the inhibitor should only be slightly watered down.
