seems very cheap to rip out cylinder and convert existing system over.. all depends what boiler your getting. a rubbsh ravenheat from b&q is £500 and will last 2 years. or a vallient eco tec £800+ and lasts 15year. but what ever boiler is used to system designes are different. you will be converting from an open- low pressure system to a sealed system- high pressure. the system will have to be check and confirmed thst there are NO leaks. inc little ones from old rad valves. and the system is 'properly' powerflushed to remove and remaining iron out. as this will block up you new boilers heat exchangers,
depends on the area you are in. but say a eco tec pro 28, flush system new rad valves 1600 .south east. 2 man working. one days work.

Whichever boiler is fitted, Ravenheat or Vaillant, as long as they are only fitted on a totally clean and inhibited system I would expect both to easily last 10-12 years.

The reason many of the cheaper to buy boilers fail is that they are fitted by the unskilled on dirty systems with no water treatment.

the cheap boilers are cheap for many reasons. cheap build, cheap materials, and most importantly cheap design, a ravenheat will not last the term as a valliant. fact.

Ravenheat ® ?
Vaillant ® ?

Oh I dunno. Surely flushing, and especially power flushing, is primarily a show for the customer?
