Hi !
Asking this on behalf of my sister. She's decided to have a new boiler to replace her totally knackered 30 year old heap.
New boiler will be a WB combi, and she's had a number of quotes for the work.
Every fitter has quoted for a new boiler, new rads etc, but only half of them reckon her copper pipework needs replacing.
The existing pipework is just regular 15mm copper, and has been in for 30 years.
So - can anyone advise whether it's worth replacing the pipework or not if the remainder of the CHS is being replaced ?
For example, X-Gas seem convinced that the old pipework will be fine, whereas other independent guys think it should be replaced.
Be grateful of some expert opinions please.
Thanks,
Marcus
