Was I charged right for fixing my Ideal Mini C24 boiler

[Agile]

To the OP as Joe bashing in this thread is off topic.

Your boiler can at the most be about 8 years old as they were only sold from November 2002 if I recall correctly.

If it has a single pCB as you suggest then it would be from 2006 !

Your boiler is totally repairable. It sounds as if its just a fault sensor which is about £18.

If you had called me to repair the boiler then it would have been a fixed price diagnostic charge and the cost of the sensor or whatever part was required.

If you must choose a firm that charges rather more and cannot diagnose the fault then unfortunately its only you who are to blame.

And for Joe and others, we do NOT charge for parts which are not required to fix the fault.

I do have a 'glue' I know it's full of gypos and charlatans.

You don't read this forum then. Should he ask for a refund? Is he legally entitles to one? Looks like he fell prey to a 'right one' to me.

For what it's worth, Tony, I'd employ you to fix my boiler any day and so should the OP.

With the benefit of hindsight, what I wrote can be interpreted two ways.

What I should have said was:-

Agile Services does not charge for parts which are not necessary to repair the boiler. ( We would remove new parts though and refit the old ones. This would normally never happen as we aim to correctly diagnose the fault first. )

Other firms MAY charge for parts they fit which dont fix the fault.

So the boiler conmen can go around saying "New PCB £350" and get away with it when they are clueless as to what the real fault may be? Then when it's not fixed (that's assuming they even changed the PCB and didn't just pretend to) they go back and say "New boiler". Can't you see the corruption invitation? Why should the public pay for that?
