Honestly, i have no idea about the VAT but im assuming its a cash in hand job. I know for a fact he is gas safe registered, i also know for a fact he is vaillant accredited. I wont mention the 2 sites he is on but on both, he has got over 70 jobs completed (most ar boiler replacements) with a...

Also, he said the boiler replacement would take no longer than 5 hours for him and his team to install. Exceptional service at an exceptional price! I will report back and let you all know how it went.

Cash in hand job. No VAT. Price quoted is price paid. Price breakdown was: £300 to remove, replace boiler and do all the condensing pipework, masonary for new flue etc. £150 to power flush. You can't beat that especially when the guy is accredited by Vaillant themselves.

So I just called another guy and got quoted £450 for a boiler replacement and power flush! Furthermore, the guy is an accredited Vaillant fitter meaning that my warranty will be extended from 2 to 5 years!!!! Muhahahaha - what were all the rip off merchants saying in the other thread...

Appreciate the advice. Might have to avoid logging it in with Vaillant to avoid any issues or flag ups. With regards to the corgi registered comment, I have his gas safe reg number and checked it out online. He is perfectly legit. Thanks for the x800 tip. No idea if I have micro bore...

If it flags up, it flags up. I don't have a receipt but I can certainly show the ad on Gumtree. Not my fault that I negotiated a price better than what was advertised. Is one to assume that every bargain purchased via a site or auction at a price much lower that RRP, suspect? So be it -...

Well that's just an assumption. We have no idea how the boiler was acquired. All I know is I paid £820 cash and I own it Let's be realistic - how many of the items on eBay or gumtree do you think have been stolen? Do you honestly think that the police will go out and check and investigate...

One more. Here's a link showing you a bunch of prices of the work carried and the amount charged. Some of the rip off merchants are on this list as are the HONEST tradesman: http://www.whatprice.co.uk/prices/plumbing/boiler-fitting-only.html

This aint the people im using but check this: http://www.gascall.com/boilers.html Boiler supplied and fitted and powerflushed with a Kamco system AND a 3 year warranty for £999 I might give them a call and get a price MINUS the boiler. What do you guys reckon? £500 or £550 (similar...

£40 per hour is way too much. I am a very well qualified network engineer and I dont make that so sack that man. Most people have said on MANY MANY MANY forums that replacing a combi with another combi can be done pretty quick. I am saying NO LONGER than 6 hours tops.

Nah mate. When you purchase something via legitimate means on the net, it is not your fault if you find out that your product was purchased by knock off nigel. They aint gonna get me for nothing since I bought it off a Classified Ads site.

He didn't have to tout. I actually searched for boiler fitters in the local area and filtered the search results by "highest reviewed" - 30+ reviews and an overall rating of 96% is pretty darn good. The labour isn't bargain basement. It's £350 for 4 - 8 hours of work! That's more than what...

I am Cisco certfied network engineer and have charged many people £10 to upgrade their RAM as opposed to the rip off merchants who charge anywhere between £30 and £50. I am charging 40+% less than the norm and I know I for a fact my work is top notch. My point is that there are people out...

Mate, I told you the guys credentials above. Are you saying that his qualifications, ratings, reviews and long term running company is a load of *******s because he charges less than £400 to do a combi replacement? That is very unprofessional to criticise a fellow-tradesman. None of you...

The boiler was a brucey bonus but I got lucky via a classified ad site. How he gets his stuff is beyond me. I think I have a 2 year warranty with the boiler so if it was faulty, I'd get Vaillant to replace it or sort it out. The fitter has quoted an extremely reasonable price at £350 and...

The problem is that I didn't inform this guy about the job. The boiler fitter called him first and told him that I was about to have a boiler fitted and wanted a powerflush done first. I can only assume the flusher, assumed I had a fairly new CH system in place. Nevertheless, your comments...

The point wasn't the time it took. The point was the rate taken over 4 OR 8 hours is £130 and £25 per hour MORE than the experts at British Gas. Why the F would I do that? My mate in London supplied me with a Vaillant Eco Tec 837 with flue yesterday for £820 BRAND NEW SEALED and told me...

Fit a Magnaclean - can you link me? Im not sure if the PF comany offer a warranty but I am sure they will rectify it if any dirt was found afterwards. The installation price is a good one and one that comes close to another plumbing company (local to me). I found this particular...

Hi there, We have an old Ravenheat boiler that continually breaks down and gets repaired by BG. We have now bought ourselves a Vaillant Eco Tec 837 but have left it be until the RavenHeat goes bonkers again. I queried some prices and found someone to do the boiler change (plus flue) for...

Hi Matt, I will take your advice and go for Karndean or Amtico. Both do a range of tiles - Vinyl, Ceramics, Wood etc. Were you suggesting I go for one of their Vinyl tile range? The Vinyl tiles to my surprise are quite Pricey per m2. Almost the same price as Porcelain tiles!! I did...
