Well yes the quote for the new boiler system replacement stroke move was including a power flush and new magnabooster and new radiator. The BG guy came around and gave me another quote replacing one old radiator, adding a new one and a powerflush plus magnabooster at a cost of £1050. He...

Well I have BG coming round again to give me a quote for a power flush, magna clean and new radiator. I will quiz him about warranties for boilers. Regards Jerry

Guess I should have posted with a name like liverBird lol Interesting in the response to that post people say if you have a working back boiler you should keep it. Maybe I should just get a power flush and then get a magnaclean and new radiator fitted. I am able and I guess I could take...
