My current system operates from a back boiler and they no longer provide these so the new boiler would have to go in the loft. Also would I have to have new radiators or could my current ones be utilised? thankyou.

Yes you could reuse the radiators but if they were operating off a back boiler system then they were probably sized to give background heating. Best thing is to upgrade your boiler, and the downstairs radiators. Then next year have the upstairs radiators upgraded. This will spread the cost and you will still be warm through the winter. Be sure to have thermostatic Radiator valves fitted as this will save you money in the long term. Cost of new boiler about £650 dependant on size and type. New rads £200. and labour for about 3 days. Total cost around£1600.

the size of the house would help.. you know how many rooms etc. size of rooms. which rooms have how many outside walls.
this would help to ascertain what size radiators you would need and the size of the boiler...
all this would make a lot of difference to the price...
the boiler would be no good installed in your loft unless it has been converted to a habitable room. you need access to your boiler to be able to use the controls..
also heat rises, you would need an awfully powerful pump to pump the heated water back down to the ground floor....

All this depends on the size of your house and how many radiators you currently have.
For a new boiler of any quality you are looking at around £1000, if you need new rads you can put the best part of another £1000 on top of that!!

First answer given is amazingly sound. as properly attempt turning down the boiler temperature. If the water temperature is in simple terms too severe because it enters the pump the water, by using low stress on the pump inlet turns to steam. it rather is understand as cavitation. basically a small quantity of water gets via and the pump can exchange into noisey. Secondly, if your have thermostatic radiator valves as a examine positioned all of them to totally open. if your heating water is amazingly warm the valves will close down and basically enable a small pass via. This motives a whistling result by using fact the water is pushed during the smaller oriface. The pump is often donning. wish this helps

back boilers are still available in the uk if it is very difficult to replace it with anything else but the system may have to be updated to a fully pumped system yes the radiators will need to be flushed http://www.heatingcomplete.co.uk/

you could keep the rads ..but modern rads are far more efficent .. unfortunately like most question you fail to give such info as how many rads you have ..how many bathrooms...how big the house is ....how many bedrooms etc ...every thing is rellevent as until all facts are known we can only guess the size of boiler required ...as a ballpark figure £1600-£2000 plus vat

I'd say £2000 easily as you would have to have new pipes fitted throughout the house.
