f##k sake son answer the basic question you have been asked as in when its banging and when water shoots out pipe. People are not asking for the fun of it
Without knowing how many rads thats difficult to say. Typically £300 in London.
But most power flushers dont touch the boiler.
Power flushing will not correct wrongly installed pipework.
You said you dont want the be fleeced but you are apparently intending to fleece yourself.
It would be a very bold engineer who refused to do a power flush if it was not required when the customer had asked for it.

youve asked for the best action
The best action is to take the thing out and replace it
If your lucky youre getting 55% efficency .....
Get a new boiler, cut your gas bill and stop trying to chuck good money after bad ... at some stage this dinosaur will need replacing

Sorry but i have answered most questions and dont appreciate your internet tone.
The noise is mainly when the boiler cuts out, but it builds up to it, getting gradually worse.
Ive not been in the loft yet as ive been working away from home and didnt get back til late last night.
There are 10 rads.
I figured whatever the problem, the system would need a good flush regardless as the rads are bunged up?
Any help would be appreciated.
Though i cant afford to rip it out and spend 2k plus at the minute as the wife is on maternity so not getting a second wage.

Do you really think you are best placed to decide how to deal with your problem compared with pros who work on heating for a living?
But it is your house and your money and its your choice.
But search for the threads on here where they have had a power flush and the symptoms remain.
Pumping over can sludge up a system and pinhole rads in days!

No, thats why i came on here, to get advice. Thanks for explaining why a powerflush wouldnt help in this situation.
I will get up in the loft and have a listen and watch the pipe and report back.
I do appreciate the advice, just dont appreciate the swearing and insults when im just asking a question and have answered most that have been asked of me.

Most boilers can be repaired as you seem to keep banging on about
But there comes a time when the best advice is to ditch the boiler and get a new boiler
Most prob the only way that this will be cured is to flush with Ferroquest and then he can say goodbye to the rest of the system after a few months IMHO
Forget the whys and whats ... what do you think is the best advice ... that is what his 1st question was and I cant see that the qustion has changed
My advice is again ......... get a new boiler, cut your gas bill and get the correct boiler and you should get a minimum of a 5 year warranty rather than being back in the same postion in 2 years having spent a needless amount of money on very old boiler
