Please be aware!! I recieved a voicemail this morning. Elderly lady, made a mistake and called myself instead of British Gas. When I arrived in the afternoon, she told me it was all sorted now, British gas had been and told her she needed a new boiler. I asked if I could come inside to take a look and she said that would be ok. The pilot light had gone out on the boiler and two engineers spent over an hour in her house, making phone calls, telling her the boiler was very old and everything needed replacing. I tried to light the boiler but the pilot wouldn't stay on, so I replaced the thermo couple (flame safety device costing £5) and the boiler was back working again. Moral of the story, get a second opinion and use a local gas engineers!

Things you see walking the dog, these tradesman have put people lives at risk by covering over 40% of the clean air intake on this gas boiler. Gas appliances are designed to allow the correct air to gas ratio. This action will directly lead to the appliance producing carbon monoxide.

Please be aware!!! These national companies that take £20/£25 month from you shock me when I see the work they do for their money. Just been to a customer's house, SWALEC had only serviced the boiler on Tuesday this week. The fan had seized on the boiler, swalec could not get an engineer out until Tuesday next week from a Friday afternoon call. When I inspected the boiler it hadn't been cleaned out in years. These companies are more interested in doing a visual check on your pipework and appliances than actually doing the job they are sent out to do. If you use a local engineer, you have no monthly charge and they will turn up that day to try to resolve your problems and most importantly you'll get the boiler serviced. Needed to get that off my chest 😂 shop local, get better results!!

Not seen this before thought I'd post it, aluminium heat exchanger had melted on an ideal Icos. Boiler was isolated from gas supply and replaced the same day after a long drive to neath with a Worcester 30kw RI Compact. Another reason to get your appliances serviced every year! £60 isn't a lot of money whey you could be putting your or your families life at risk.

Here is a good example of why you should get your annual gas safety tests carried out. Cooker was installed incorrectly, and customer was very lucky in this case.

Due to a local creating a company name so similar to mine, I felt I needed to create this on facebook so my customers knew that he was not the one who has spent the last five years building up an excellent reputation.
