I think best part of £200 but getting someone to call at this late hour is going to be tough.Good luck anyway.

What is the problem?
had an engineer out today as the boiler fires up 3 times for about 15 seconds each and goes to flame failiure also sometimes when it has fired up you can still hear the sparker going trying to light even though its lit then locks out the engineer checked the obvious eg loose connections, blocked condensate etc and said its probobly the electrodes but getting parts is now a nightmare which we can understand. he said maybe try a fixed price repair. the boiler is a main 24 he combi

Your chances of getting a fixed price repair actually done this side of new year are pretty slim, regardless of which company you try.
Do NOT engage one of the big advertisers in yellow pages and such, as a lot of them are notoriously bad as well as expensive.
Keep calling local independents until one says yes is probably your best bet.

I totally agree, its very cold and lonely for a single old person at Christmas. I really dont understand why people dont ask them to join them for christmas.
A Potty Performa is a very simple boiler to fault find on and any competent engineer should not have any problem.
Those fixed price repairs are getting more exclusive and expensive now as BG etc. are realising they should charge more when expensive parts or long repair times are involved.
Thats good news for independents as they made jobs like replacing Suprima PCBs uneconomical for us. I did two during the last two weeks. My advantage though is thta I can respond the same day unlike the big firms.

BG are now offering a three tier pricing system, the longer the job the more it costs, but it starts at, if I remember correctly, £79.
We try to do same day visit, especially to vulnerable customers, but work loads dictate and jobs have to be prioritised.
