A new gasboiler isn't that expensive, you can get a combination one for
around £600 and fitting it doesn't take long. Trade prices are even
cheaper, especially to bigger companies. The system will be flushed out and
refilled with a corrosion inhibiter. An entire new heating system with
pipes etc will cost a lot, but is not required. Some companies will lie
about replacing copper pipes and just use the old ones.

A load of ********. Sure in some cases it can be that easy but you
have to take each job on it's own merits. You obviously harbour some
grudge about something and therfore have a bitter and twisted biased
outlook on this.


Then a lot of
companies will not connect up your "old" house wiring

Where do you get this from? As long as it's safe then it can be
reconnected. Even if it's unsafe it can be reconnected as long as you
are made aware of the fact.

so will suggest a
rewire which again is an excuse for a blank cheque.

No, a rewire isn't a blalk cheque. IF the quotes are brought in before
the job starts and it's carried out by a reputable company then
there's no blank cheques involved.
