Hi, I wondered if anyone could advise. I've just had a man round from British gas inspecting my central heating system after the radiators stopped heating. The radiators were barely getting warm, some of them not heating at all, and the upstairs ones were making trickling noises. I bled them all - then water totally stopped circulating and a loud vibrating sound could be heard which continued long after I turned the heating off.
He says the cold water inlet is blocked (sadly not covered by my 3 star maintenance - which is just my luck!) - and the pipe needs to be cut and flushed to clear it. He says it is not a big job and shouldn't cost much. Do the symptoms and diagnosis makes sense?
My question is - and not exactly being an expert on this - how much should this cost me? I am in the South East. I am concsious of being ripped off - are there any extras that could be foisted on me? Is it a straight forward job?
Many thanks for any advice.
