Hi guys,I`ve now been without a boiler for over a week and finally got someone to come and give me a quote for a new boiler.The quote is on the high side but I need it doing.When he got back to me to confirm the date he could do it he also said he wanted me to buy the boiler and then pay him in cash or cash and a small cheque.I understand him not wanting to put it through his books but are there any warranty issues if I`ve purchased the boiler?

If there are warranty issues it is going to be between you and the manufacturer.
Payment like this is both a tax dodge and a way of not having to provide any follow up service IMHO.
Sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.
Just for giggles - what boiler is it?

Yes thats a good point.Would you recommend using a site such as rated people,because up till now I`ve called 7 plumbers and had only one quote?
I have a very low opinion of those sites. However there are a few decent tradesmen out there. . Decent guys by definition are going to be busy. . This is the silly season where people phone up panicking because all the problems that they've had for week's and months HAVE to be sorted by Christmas.
When in fact plumbers and boiler men are already trying to cope with the emergencies that come in organically.
The best way to find a good installer is recommendations from family, friends and neighbours.
After that the manufacturer's own website often has a list.
I'm in the office today doing estimates for surveys I did nearly two weeks ago. . It is crazy out there.

This is one boiler where it's essential to have it installed properly and on a thoroughly cleaned system. Without a proper manufacturers warranty you will be paying horrendous prices for the spares. I don't even repair them anymore due to the extortionate parts prices and availability.
Thanks for your help Dan,unfortunately I`ve exhausted all the numbers from friends and family.Thanks again c ya
