I've got a 3 up, 3 down Victorian house which I'm going to shortly start updating room by room.
It has GCH in the property. The radiators (I'm guessing) and copper microbore pipe system was fitted about 20 years ago. Initally it had a back-burner and a cylinder, but those were replaced with a combi-boiler about 5 years ago.
I intend to replace the radiators in each room as I go and microbore being microbore, I doubt that I will be able to remove the old radiaor and fit new ones without having making some adjustments / repair to the pipes.
Some I'm wondering whilst changing the radiators, is it worth taking out the micro-bore as well and fitting it with 15mm?
Will it create issues if part of the CH is on 15mm and the rest on micro-bore?
NB: I want the entire house to be copper pipes. I'm got some experience of fitting (soldering, bending etc) 15mm copper pipes now, but little experience with micro bore.
Thanks in advance for any replies.
