Hi, We are currently having a 2 storey extension built and we needed to move the boiler, the company that moved the boiler have told us that no PRV was piped in, he said it could have flooded our house if the pressure had gone above 3 bar. He has now piped it in and taken it outside. The...

Hello, I'm looking for advice, tips, experience etc on extensions. We've just had plans drawn up for a 2 story rear extension and single story side extension. Upstairs this will give us an additional bedroom with ensuite and make our existing bathroom larger. Downstairs we'll create an open...

Sorry not sure what POS is? We now have a Viessmann 100-W Combi boiler installed in the attic, with a remote programmer and TRVs installed on all radiators (8). We are still waiting for the weather compensation kit to be installed.

They quoted us £2700 excluding vat

Hi All, Thanks for all your replies, well we finally have a new boiler in, after 1 week of no heating and no hot water, but we're not so happy with it! We ended up going with a quote for £3100 :shock: oh and we need to pay an extra £150 as we apparently needed a magnetic cleanser thing...

Yes and to locate the combi in the airing cupboard upstairs. Rather than having it in the kitchen, where the current one is.

I said it was an emergency as I have a baby :D All 3 have been round to the house, one quote was £3337 :shock:

We've been wanting the boiler replaced for a while, so no time like the present, just means I have to go back to work sooner :( We got another 3 quotes in and they all range from £2500 - £3000 for a condenser boiler. I guess that's the going rate up here.. Another guy said the boiler is...

I have someone coming this afternoon to double check and give another quote. What sort of questions should I be asking when receiving a quote? Is there anything important I need to bear in mind when getting a replacement boiler?

Thanks, ours is a Baxi WM 532 RS, we do have a hot water cylinder upstairs

Thanks guys, maybe 'scam' is not the right word, probably 'taken advantage of' would be better, as the company seem reputable. I'm a young female and have a new baby, so not sure if I'm more of a target, as obviously the baby is a major factor in this as we want to do everything possible to...

We just got our boiler serviced today and he said that the burner is cracked and the metal plate is stained. I did take a look but couldn't see a crack in the burner, but the metal plate is stained - is that a cause for concern? He said it is unsafe and has switched off our boiler and the gas...

Haha - I did actually think of that!

Ahh We just can't decide what to do. I take it, it would be pointless just insulating the walls as most of the heat will go through the roof and garage door so no heat would ever be retained? Would it help a little just having the walls insulated? I think I might be better off just buying a...

Hi, Thanks for your reply. Yes, we would like it done cheaply as possible. We got a few quotes from joiners and they are around £2000 :shock: certainly don't want to spend that much! So we really need to do it ourselves. I will have a heater in there, when I am in there. How would I...
