Yes we have.
No leaks, just a better flow of water through the radiators. A product is put in that sluices the sludge that collects in the pipe work.
We have a central heating overhaul every 12 months.
It took about 4 hours (4 bed house) and it isn’t cheap but we have hard water here and it is necessary every few years.
Cost as I remember last time a few hundred pounds.

Anyone had a power flush? Was it successful? Any down sides? Extra leaks?
Was it expensive and did it take a whole day or a few hours?

Just had a new pump fitted and a power flush was recommended. Our central heating system was installed 40 or so years ago. The boiler was replaced 7 years ago and is regulalarly serviced.

We have used the same company for the last 20 years.
