So i guess i deserved to have a complete stranger take me for a fool and try to rip me off. I am not sure i follow your logic on this i am sorry. The bottom line is this plumber came into my house which is fairly large and have a big car on the drive, he assumed (wrongly) i would not miss the...

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: My wife is just like this, she thinks that if she turns the thermostat up the heating works faster. Us Brits really are a dumb nation :P

If underfloor heating is done properly it is very effective. Infact the Romans knew this 2000 years ago, they heated their homes using underfloor heating and cavity wall heating. Despite people saying it isn't used because it isn't very good they don't know what they are talking about. Ask...

I already said the only reason i stopped using him was because i got out of the property developing game. And had no call for a plumber on a regular basis. Then my mobile was stolen and i lost his number, and as he doesn't advertise anywhere i got no way of finding him. If i really wanted i...

Maybe the experts here get asked this countless times, but us laymen come into contact with a boiler 2 maybe 3 times in our life. So we don't really know what questions we should be asking, let alone what the answers are :oops: Anyways i have an ancient boiler in the house i have recently...
