Halstead.
Dimplex bought them over a couple of years back..
A budget boiler. Cheap to buy and expensive for parts. Had/have a bad reputation as they are mainly installed cheaply (badly) or by DIYers. Probably not the best choice of boiler but you pay the money you take the chance. Making sure it is fitted properly including a proper flush will help.
Ask which boiler is recommended and you will get a dozen different answers for varying reasons. Like choosing a car there are a lot to choose from depending on your budget and what you expect.
