I know i know...I just had bad experiences in the past, i'llgo with your advice and will let the guys do everything. Cheers

I am getting a quote in half an hour, another one tomorrow and the last one on thursday, so i have not ask anyone yet and I am in the planning phase. I would prefer someone else to do everything to be honest so if you guys reckon is not worth it then I rather leave it for others. I like always...

Hi all, I am planing to buy an unvented 120 litres hot water cylinder for my two bedroom flat. I am not looking at anything too expensive and was wondering if buying online is worth it. For instance I found this one...

Hi Chris, I am in Southampton but thanks for your advice.

And also where is the best place to find a reliable engineer? I do not trust check a trade too much but where else can i find one that it can prove reliable? That is which website publishes real reviews if there is any?One of the reasons I like to do plumbing, electrics etc myself is not so much...

This is getting complicated, time to ask for a quote ... Thanks to all
