Radiators not working following new boiler instillation

*EDIT* the plumber had flushed the system and balanced the radiators prior to me asking this (or so he said..) is there anything else it could be or should I get someone else in to try balancing them again? Hi, I recently had a baxi 830 combi boiler installed. Prior to this, all radiators worked. Since instillation, the kitchen radiator will not come on at all. The engineer has flushed the system several times. He can get the radiator hot when all others are turned off, but as soon as others are turned back on it goes cold again. He now reckons it must not have been working before (it definitely was) and there’s a pipe work issue. I feel he is fobbing me off so he doesn’t have to resolve the issue himself, and is trying to shift the blame. My house is a 4 bed with 2 bathrooms, a total of 12 rads (not sure if the boiler is suitable for this?). I was wondering if anyone could shed some light as to why this is occuring, as the pipe work is plastered into the wall so really don’t fancy him ripping the wall to bits if it’s something he should have done differently? I’m wondering if he’s fitted an insufficient boiler. Thank you in advance for your help.
