Been quoted £150 labour for service and replacing parts.

[vim1471]

I have a Worcester Bosch Greenstar 28i that hasn't been serviced in years.

It needs a full service and expansion vessel & PRV replacing. I have been quoted £150 labour and parts will be £100. He also mentioned that these greenstar juniors arnt the easiest to work with ?

The flu is mounted sideways so removing vessel won't be difficult.
Am based in Leicester so not London prices.

Does it sound about right ?

Good price.

My guy charges £115 for a major service. And £75 for a yearly.

I think the major is every 2 years.

Far too cheap

How many hours labour should a job like this be ?

 

[ianmcd]

who said it needs an expansion vessel and a PRV ?

Its losing pressure all the time, The air valve on the vessel blows out water and the overflow outside drips water

 

[johnny2007]

That's cheap.

 

[kidgreen61]

Bargain, book him to do it.

 

[muggles]

It's less than I'd charge

Far too cheap

I would second that

You want the job done don’t you. Not a job I would quote a price on

Cheaper than me.

Just make sure that you see proof that he is gas safe registered (NOT Corgi!).

Well sorry but as you said it has never been serviced, probably just needs re-charging correctly, should be checked at every service, to be fair though far too many lazy so called engineers dont check it and dont know how to properly re-charge an EV, if I was in your shoes I would get Worcester to properly servive the boiler, not someone who presses in the schraeder valve and you will get value for your money

Am not sure where you'll al based but am in Leicester. (Northern to Londoners)

Ive rang a few engineers in my area and they're all quoting £150-£200 labour for service and changing parts.
