I have a insurance job to try and rescue a poorly installed quad shower the customer wants to save the tiling if possible and has a few spare so fingers crossed it may work , the loss adjuster allowed em £1500 that will just about cover materials. Kop

3 boilers this week for me (2 emergency swaps), one replacing a Turbomax that my Dad fitted 18 years ago. They didn’t do bad out of it, another Vaillant in its place.
