I'm a trustworth LL, but I don't force my tenants to pay me extra for it, I let at the going rate.

Free to install a new boiler myself? Not that I know of due to CORGI lobbying govt. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Was it because I said I was a Landlord? In this thread, I wasn't after DIY advice, I was after an indication of a fair price to install a new boiler. So why don't you **** off & let someone else answer....

The problems us landlords are up against: - We need to control our costs, just like any other business. - We are bound by law now for certain types of properties (licensed HMO's for anyone who know what I mean) to keep the HW and heating working. So we need to find a place in between...

:lol: :lol: Competition is a tough thing isn't it. Frankly I'm sick of half knowledgable plumbers who come round & say it might be this, it might be that, why don't we try this or that and see if it's repaired if we're lucky. Or better still, I'll sell you a new boiler for an inflated...

You can't spend it unless you borrow more. And why would I do that when a BG contract is so economical?

In addition to the 6 boilers I mentioned in another thread, I also have a solid fired heating system. It's a complicated system heated from a wood fireplace, but when all the pumps are off and the valves are open, the heat still flows to the upstairs rads only helped by rising heat and falling...

£2,200 He's not BG though. He was asking £1,500 2 years ago. That's about 20% inflation! Even at £1,500 it was a joke. £700 for the boiler & £800 for sundries and a days work. Sure I agree doing a really great installation would be worth something, but we're talking replacement here, no...

More like plumbing problem minefield..... :(

I mean that compared to a new boiler, the £198 fix anything price from British Gas is pretty good. The higher the difference, the more chance that people like me would take the BG option. Also, if I want to save further, going onto a BG contract (which I've done in this case) can mean and...

Different, younger boiler that was re-conditioned. I have 6 of them, so I have to watch my costs.

Very funny.....if plumbers aren't careful, they'll price themselves out of work as obviously the higher an installation price becomes, the better a repair seems.

Is this a low pressure problem? Is the pressure guage well down below 1 bar & are you topping it up?

I would like to add that gravity helps as well. As with hot and cold air, hot water rises and cold water falls. So as long as the balancing is right and gets hot water to the feed of each radiator, the heat will rise into the rad. This can cause confusion when there are airlocks, as it can...

Glow-worm have a fix anything, replace anything service for a £195 fixed price. I recommend them for thoroughness and determination to fix it, however they took 5 months to finally repair my boiler!!! But they explained that wasn't usually the case as my problem was particularly hard to...

Had a problem with my combi boiler that it looks like British Gas will be able to fix on a new contract I've taken up. However the guy that looked at it for me informed me it was installed in 1987 and he recommended replacing it with a new boiler. The current problem is fixable, but he is right...

Someone has been over to look at it now, he says the diaphragm may be split in the manifold & sometimes restricing the flow. It's actually a 1987 installation, so I've shoved it on a Bristish Gas contract & they're coming monday to start repairs on it.

Hi there, I've got a problem & wonder if someone has experienced this before. The hot taps are basically working intermittently. Sometimes they're fine & allow full flow & other times they're not turning on throughout the house. The cold water is fine, so I'm thinking something is sticking in...

Well it had one isolating valve on the outlet from the coil, so I fitted a 2nd one on the inlet and seperated it from the CH system. Fingers crossed now. I should have also mentioned that the pressure guage on the boiler isn't reliable, so when topping up, the occupants have been topping it...

The house has wooden floors & a cellar. I've inspected all the pipes in the cellar including the CH drain valve which doesn't leak. There's no leaks that I can see and no damp smell or the smell that CH water makes in the cellar and the floors surrounding the cellar would all vent to the cellar...
