We had a blockage in a pipe coming from the loft,causing the circulater? (sorry if thats wrong!) to burn out which required replacing

To cut out the small amount of pipework and replace it would cost magnitudinally less. Then depending which boiler you have the system will last as long again as it is as it has up until now.

But your bg man won't do so well on his daily sales targets.

The ethos of the prganisation is more sell what you can, than provide what is best for client.

Throw on a magnaclean and a bottle of inhibitor.

I presume he cleared the blockage?

Yep he cleared the blockage!
Apparently he mentioned about cutting the pipe and replacing it but he said we/he will be forever doing it so a power flush is the answer!?

We have not done this yet as all working ok,just a bit worried when and if it goes wrong we wont be covered as BG suggested we need one!

Probably don't need doing but if it did an independant could do it for probably £300-400.
