Hi folks, can anyone give a ballpark figure for some work i'm hoping to get done. I'll try and explain as best as i can.
House is a 3 bed semi timber kit with facing brick skin approx 18 yrs old. Upstairs central heating pipework is very noisy on startup, creaking and clicking. I assume that the pipes have been poorly fitted. I also have what i think is water hammer when the boiler kicks in but only on heating not hot water.
I was thinking of replacing the three rads in the bedrooms with double panel double convector units, 2 600x800 and 1 600x1100. Rather than trying to track down the noisy pipework i was hoping to fit new pipework at the same time. Boiler is only 6 yrs old so won't need replacing.
So basically what should i expect to pay for the following
3 rads and new pipework plus fix the water-hammer issue and service the boiler for good measure :rotfl:
thanks in advance Andy
Should have added, live in the Ayrshire, west coast of Scotland

Get quote/estimates etc and post full detail? Trying to guess without knowing the full extent what’s involved is not really going to help,,,, The quote/estimates etc would have more details , routing, construction, distances, materials etc0

You get no BS from me & if I think you are wrong I WILL tell you.0
