I think I already know the answer to this question but I’ll post it anyway. Would anyone consider changing an existing 45 year old open vented heating and HW system to pressurised? The existing system is, in the main, hidden in walls or under flooring. The heating system is microbore and the main heating circuit has 2 distinct pockets.
British Gas are proposing to install a Worcester Bosch combi boiler in the current airing cupboard and top and tail the existing HW and Heating circuits to/from the current boiler, this would result in a heating circuit for the new system of approx 120m
If there is a leak in the old plumbing in say the kitchen this would involve the potential removal of laminate flooring, kitchen units, tiles etc etc. But there is little chance in reality of actually locating any underfloor leak until it had caused significant / noticeable secondary damage.
As I said in the beginning I think I know the answer, just want the reassurance of an echo chamber.
