Does this work seem reasonable?

I agree diamond gas, I always try to have the price agreed by both parties before work has even started to save any aggro, sometimes this isnt possible though and a rough estimate give or take is given instead, but if it is going to be much dearer then I'd let them know before I done anything

I bet it didn't even need a new low pressure switch, cleaning them out usually is suffice. And he should have asked if you wanted inhibitor.

Hey RoryD ... Wow! Wasn't having a swipe at yourself matey orBG for that matter. I worked for BG 25 years, ended up service technician and am still in contact with a lot of my pals at BG! My point was that none are exempt from 'part fitters' and used my experience of working for the echelons to emphasise my point. In no way was it meant as some kind of vendetta against BG. More an acknowledgement that even the 'best' can get it wrong on occasions..... You know yourself that you don't always get it right first time yeh?

Nice to know you have the passion I once had for a company that offers a great environment to learn this trade though...lol

Chill ...

Apologies mate. As for the not getting it right first time.....have you been following me about??????

LOL :rofl:

Are the bosses still badgering you about recalls?
Honestly Roryd it got to the point where I was collecting returned parts for examination! Blokes were fitting part after part to get stuff working even though they had us & the laptop to fall back on. None of us know it all and a second head is great to have around when you pulling ya hair out, one thing I know BG still give their guys!

Well the "New thing" is quality, so you can spend longer at a job and fault find down to one part (LOL!!!). However the laptop tools, technical helpdesk and 7,000 engineers on the phone gives an edge. Sometime blokes don't do that. I suppose we do have advantages as we now have priority helplines with major Manufacturers

Yes we are if you read my first ever posts on here today! now the last engineer cant be found and my boiler is in bits all over literally,and so far I have coughed up for 2 pcb boards now both blown and a new pump,fan and clock,obviously the engineer had no idea how to fix and after I paid his rate as well i have now spent over £800 hes vanished and mobile cut off. Clearly i was expected to pick up tab for all his misdiagnosisis!!
