British gas only have themselves to blame, they advertise fixed price repairs don't they?
just says fix the first fault (and related faults), no limit on parts cost etc.
BG bending the rules and false advertising again, biggest crooks and cowboys in the industry.
nickso bg advertise a service they don't deliver, that's illegal.
Paul from bg is going against company policy that is a disciplinary matter.
I agree the average bg eng will try and run if anything more complicated than a t/c is reqd, that or they will rebook for someone else on their rest day.
If its a HEX or a cylinder and its the ONE fault, they will get it for the 'over 2 hours' price of £268. This possibility of a more expensive fixed price is explained to the cus over the phone.
Dangermouse yor BG bashing is tedious, were you pushed out the door by BG because you were crap and now you have a chip on your shoulder?? Certainly seems so!
Hi everyone, im a newly qualified engineer and have been out on my own for 6 months now. Im finding the job very stressful (i.e many of the breakdowns) and have just found out about this site. Is there any other engineers in the same position as myself. Some of the boilers out there are driving me bonkers and i am simply pulling my hair out everyday. I can diagnose most system faults e.g choked cold feed, pumps, zone valves but its some of the combis and new condensing boilers that get to me! heres my worst: Ideal Isar and Icos. Glowworm hxi and cxi. Alphas always seem to leak and i hate them. I like Vokeras and pottertons in general.
Just wanted to get this off my chest and see if anyone is in the same situation.

You clearly are a twit searching and quoting a post going years back, and this is the last time i bite. When i posted that, i had only 6 months experience and like most, struggled with breakdowns. You couldnt hack it at BG, but heyho your not the only one so dont cry about it.
