I have approx a 26 yr old house. I moved in about 4 years back. For two years I have had a radiator burst. ( the same one 3 times now). Its the one in the bathroom which I think is connected to the storage tank hence is hot all the time. Also most of the radiators in the house only heat at the top and are cold at the bottom. The plumber who repaired the radiator burst for me said that the system had all corroded from inside as the first time he drained the system ( also with the burst radiator) the water was orange-brown in colour.This time when the radiator had leaked its now running clear water.Also the overhead overflow tank had real dirty water in it. My pipes on the ground floor are buried under concrete flooring. Few months back I got a few quotes
£2500 from british gas who would replace just boiler and power flush system.
£3500 from UK-central heating in Manchester who would remove the current system replace it with a combi boiler and replace all the pipe work (leave the original pipework buried underground) And install all new radiators
My question is should i just get the system powerflushed (as no problem with boiler and replace all the radiators
or
Replace everything
or
Replace boiler and powerflush the system.
Obviously with pipes being under concrete I am a bit worried if they are corroded and during power flush they make leak and that could be disastrous
Also does anyone know of UK-central heating or recommend me a company in south manchester who would do a good job
