That was one of the quotes. In the end I paid £45 to someone else, having supplied the new element myself. Was this a rip off? Trying to work out if the guy is sound or not.
The old one was a b*tch to get out - but it didn't take too long.
He did the wiring too for the new one.
Bloke reckons I need a new boiler (to replace Thorn Apollo on low water content system) that is banging and shutting off. Done new pump / 3 way valve - no luck.
Says to install cast iron (not condenser) - wants to move position from current waist height to higher level in kitchen - means new hole for flue (even though current hole is over 300mm from window)
Won't give a quote, wants to give me an "estimate" as he says he doesn't know what he might encounter.
I'm bricking it really. And we're cold. What do you reckon?
