Mesty Croft has a lot of houses on their original pipework, and the systems show it. Steel radiators and copper pipe that have circulated the same water for decades end up with a layer of black iron oxide in the bottom of every radiator, and that is what makes a house feel cold while the boiler runs constantly.
The first thing to establish is whether the problem is the water in the system, the air in it, or how the flow is shared out. Those three account for most of what we see here, and none of them need a new boiler.
Getting it right pays twice: the rooms actually warm up, and the boiler stops working so hard, which matters most when the appliance is already ten or fifteen years old. If you ever smell gas, get out of the house, leave the switches alone and ring the National Gas Emergency line on 0800 111 999 from outside.
Cold at the bottom, black bleed water, kettling noises. A flush and a filter is the fix.
Cold at the top. Bleeding sorts it, but if it comes back there is a reason worth finding.
Hall radiator roasting while the back bedroom stays cool. Lockshield valves set properly, no parts needed.
Thermostatic heads seized after the summer, usually found in the first cold week of the year.
A pump that hums without circulating, or a timer set to heat the house when nobody is home.
A new boiler goes onto a cleaned system, never onto an old sludged one.
Usually a day. Longer where a system is badly blocked or has a lot of radiators.
It makes the heat reach the rooms, so the boiler runs less for the same comfort. That is where the saving comes from.
Only the ones still cold after a flush. Most come back to life.
Yes, and on a reasonably clean system that is a sensible piece of protection.
Balancing, air, or a pump struggling. Those are checked in that order.
