When I bought this place back in the Spring, I decided the very ancient looking gas boiler and gravity fed, open vented system needed updating.
The plumber I used got what he could at the time, an Ideal 40Kw, combi. One rad had severe rust and was leaking. He suggested replacing all 10 - I did.
I've two showers and both have never been used at the same time. There's more than adequate for one.
I don't know what the supply situation's like now, I would've like a Worcester/Bosch, but none were available and I understand the factory was closing down as they couldn't source parts.
Ripping out the old and replacing it with a power flush, magnetic filter, magnet water softener(!), wireless thermostat/programmer, TRVs and larger gas pipe cost £4.5K.
The old place wasn't selling and the plumber costed up a similar job but replacing only the bathroom rad at £3.5K.
