I have a small three bed house which I used to live in but is now rented out to tenant who have been there for three years without any problems I have to get an EICR and the electrician has told me the whole fuse board needs replacing despite there not being any problems - I dont have any...

My neighbour lives in rented accommodation and was wondering if this boiler is old enough and should be replaced by her LL? It looks like it is 13 years old or more but does work ok Its a microgenus 23 MFFi if that helps Thanks in advance and have a great weekend

I can get a gas safe engineer to do a gas safety certificate in central London for £37 plus vat totalling £45 via openrent. That means the guy has to drive to my house etc one would reason that the engineer is getting even less then that given openrent need to make a small percentage to stay in...

husband can be kicked out any day if he does not perform. Sadly not a government job you know he has plenty of equipment and training costs and actually went to university for four years (yes paying to learn without an income). And finally he is up at 7am to commute to the office returning at...

It’s insanely expensive. Will take him one day to swap over but all the tradesmen here will come saying they have to get to the job and pay for kit etc so they justify a 1k a day job as being normal!! just like my hubby needs to get to the office for 9am and buy a suit and everything else...

Honest question and I am not trying to be awkward. Do you think £600 a day is reasonable? The average salary is something like 25k. I think I’m living ina Parallele universe

Why exactly. I’m sorry you feel that way. I tried my best to understand why and for what I was going to get charged for and whether it was good price performance ratio

Im actually going to time the install to prove my point - I have a main boiler already so this is swap to same make - Very little pipework needed. Access is on ground floor so no ladders needed. I reckon flush and install and commission will take from 10AM to 4PM for one person. If I am right...

Exactly I m not sure if people on here are being funny but my hubby was saying 600 for one days job sounds bloody great The boiler is going to be a straight swap and there is already a flue hole - There a bit of pipework that needs doing but nothing major - I expect the gas man to install the...

Hahaha. The car plan has been shelved and we have had to put our eyes Oma. Ford Focus!!! things are not easy any more and me plus partner want to pay down the mortgage

In the end I bought a mains eco compact boiler for £480 and flue for 70 which is pretty cheap not installed it yet but I have the box in the house. Intergas rapid was also available for same price but I chose the main in the end I’m so glad I did not go for something more expensive cost to...

Thanks gasgutu very grateful a final question which boiler would you pick for a small two bed flat ? I did see baxi offering the £100 bung. I wish they wouldn’t do that

Gasguru couldnt have said it better - I cannot go with some hardcore diy reccomendation if normal people dont know how to service or support them

Installer sugested baxi 624 :) Trying to do research before going blindly with him

Thank you - This is very true and I am aware of it which is a big negative in my view Valiant or worcester dominate but worcester seem to get slated here

the viessman is smaller which does make it a little more attractive

I now have to choose between two boilers 1) Vaillant ecoTEC Plus 825 (ErP) 2) viessmann vitodens 100 The flat is a small two bed 55 square metres flat in central london where space is a premium. Its a smart flat with one bathroom Both boilers are the same price and will be fitted with a...

Can you perhaps post pictures and confirm what it looks like one year on. This is exactly what I will be doing this weekend with hubby

I have an older bathroom where the tiles are just worn and look horrible. The floor tiles also look bad on the tiles around the bath I really want to paint them white. Some YouTube videos show a great outcome so can this be done? On the floor can I just stick vinyl tile squares on top of...

Shouldn’t be hard or controversial. Take cars as example above. People know rolls Royce best but expensive to service. BMW Mercedes are well wade reliable etc. Vauxhall budget entry cars.
