I am not publicly shaming him because he is holding his hands up to his huge errors and is doing the right thing by replacing a good boiler with a good boiler. He messed up in a big (and very wet) way but he admits it and isnt trying to get out of paying to put things right and i admire him for doing that.
Urgent new boiler advice

We all wonder what he did so that it might help us to avoid anything similar!
None of us have any idea who he is or even where you live for that matter!
If he is qualified to fit boilers then he should be installing any replacement boiler.
If not qualified then he should not have been touching your old boiler anyway.
Why no give details of what went wrong?

He doesnt sound like a cowboy at all. If he was a cowboy, he would be running for the hills right now.
Holding his hands up and replacing the boiler for nothing is a sign of honesty in my eyes. Everyone makes mistakes.
I do agree with Joe though. I think goings halves on such an old boiler would be fair. If not, I would be giving him a nice tip
As said, make sure he is Gas Safe but that goes for any gas work, not because of his actions.

if i broke a boiler it would be far cheaper for me to fit whatever i broke rather than a new boiler blah blah... something smells here
A claim this size would go through his liability insurance. Does that mean he doesn't want to put it through or he's not insured?
I suspect, though, this story might be partly or wholly fabricated.

Blimey, what a strange lot some of you are!
I am very grateful for the specific advice i received in answer to my specific questions.
Maybe coming across someone who holds his hands up and does the decent thing is so rare to some of you that you have to question the truth?
Whatever, as said i am grateful to Picasso for answering my questions promptly and politely, i will leave the rest of you to your conspiracy theories.

The 'decent thing', to some of us, is to operate as bona-fide, paid up, registered and regulated tradesmen with adequate insurance to protect our customers in the unlikely event we f*** up like your alleged bloke.
You court conspiracy theories by the vaguery of your post.
