We were knocking through a wall so paid him to move it.. so was new when installed 5 years ago (before we bought the place), but 3 years old when he shifted it..

Waiting for written quote - maybe he meant £1275 for the boiler supply and fit and the powerflush will be extra (but required).. for fixing the leak he said it was in a bugger of a place and would need the built in fridge freezer taken out to get to it - he said if I can manage that (and...

Thanks for all your feedback everyone. I got someone out to quote and he has said £1275 + VAT to replace and fit a new Potterton Main Eco. Replace the Roomstat and powerflush the whole system. Seems like a great price to me.. any thoughts on the boiler choice? I was thinking Vaillant...

Boiler is about 5 years old. Installer did the work about 2 years ago and stopped returning my calls after I called him the next morning to say there was a puddle on the floor under the boiler and a smell of gas.. "oh, forgot to tighten the main nut supplying the gas to the boiler.. and check I...

Doh! Sorry.. missed the important stuff while ranting! It's a favourite on here - the good old Isar HE24! (I know - its crap and I should replace, but right now, am not flush enough to stump up £1500 or whatever it will cost for a new combi and fitting by someone who isn't an idiot!)

I got BG out today to do first boiler inspection. They deemed it ID and disconnected my gas supply and have said that we will probably need a new boiler and arranged for a boiler sales person to come round.. I have tried looking at the problem (photos attached) and it seems the independent...
