I have a problem with the heating in a house I have just bought.It comprises a baxi barcelona boiler ,fully pumped system with an unvented ariston cylinder.It supplies 11 rads and a towel rail.the living room has 2 small long rads under the windows as does the master bedroom.There is an extension at the rear of the property which is the family room and this has a very big rad under the window(2 metres) .Problem is some of the rads only heat up luke warm and the big rad in the family room doesn't heat up at all now(was luke warm before ).I had a plumber mate of mine put trv's on a couple of days ago and the system was drained down at the time.Now the towel rail doesn't heat up and the big rad is freezing.I have since had a heating engineer round and he says it needs power flushing as a result of sludge and balancing after at cost of £500.I have just moved from scotland to bucks area and don't have anyone local i trust to give advice.If it needs flushing fine but don't want to get it done and find other remedial work required.Any advice would be much appreciated.
