BG and service contracts again...

Wossat then?

I think I'd make *sure* the power flush didn't fix the pipework ... £500 for a complete CH replumb sounds like a bargain. Especially if the radiators are blocked too...

And if the power flushing doesn't

Wow - that could be major work if, like mine, your heating system has ground floor piping concreted into the floors!

It has indeed, in the kitchen, to the location of the original boiler. When the new boiler was installed, they re-sited it in the utility room with pipes running along the kitchen wall at ceiling height. So their logic would be to run new ones along the other wall to match it up.;-)

The message from "TheScullster" contains these words:

Doesn't say they'll put the pipe where you like - just that they'll replace them.

I notice from the bumph that accompanied Virgin's Telewest rebrnading that they claim to put cables where you want them. Bet they won't.

Then the boiler was incorrectly fitted IMHO. They must have fitted a new boiler to a dirty system and and/or not used inhibitor.

Is the system covered if you get someone else to do the powerflush? (As BG will probably sub the job anyway)

Adam

I could be wrong, but I don't think BG ever use inhibitor. My brother has had several radiators changed through rusting and then leaking.

I'm willing to bet not...

Ditto with my Grandad a few years ago, but it was well over £500 for the powerflush (20 rads)

I back you on that. I begged my Grandad to buy a powerflush for me and do the job for free but he wanted BG to do the job

Adam

I still don't think I'd trust BG to do it though - regardless of the price :-)
