Hi. Advice needed on Served Boiler

[LuigiM]

Hi guys. My brother and I are plumbers working when we lived in Italy. We have since moved to UK when sister married her man with Italian Restaurant. I have a question.

He now wants boiler for restaraunt services but UK guy wants £120 for this. My brother he will do it with my help. It’s easy. Very much like we had in Italy. Is this a problem in UK

Hold yer fire, could be oil for all we know.

Boiler is Potterton. Very old. Easy services

Yes a big problem leave it alone ! and get a fully qualified and insured engineer to service it.

Could be. Only tagged so he can keep an eye on it. No offence intended.

 

[LuigiM]

Ok. Thanks. But my brother is plumber in Italy. That is not ok in uk? We have fixed many boilers in Italy. It’s easy job to do. And we not get paid so does it matter?

 

[LuigiM]

We have boiler “services manual”. It tells us exactly how to services it. Sounds easy

Edit
Just seen other replies.
Touch that, it goes Boom, you go to prison.

 

[LuigiM]

Thanks for all you help. Just how much would it cost for services and can you tell how long?

Wind up. Are either of you gas safe??

 

[LuigiM]

I think gas

 

[Riley]

So no you cant

 

[LuigiM]

Sorry no. We work now in restaraunt as barmen.

 

[Harvest Fields]

Then you need to be Gas Safe Registered in the UK to work on any gas appliances and hold the correct certification. Sorry to say.

If this is genuine, £120 .00 is ok

 

[LuigiM]

Ok thanks. No we can’t. How we do find someone who is allowed?

 

[LuigiM]

How long should it take. Restaraunt opens at 11:30. Would it be possible before then. I think so

 

[Riley]

Depends on the state of the boiler

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Best option is to find a local gas safe engy to do the work

 

[LuigiM]

Ok. Thanks for you guys help. We shall find uk guy for services. But £120 is ok? In Italy services take 1 hour maxx. £120 for hour is a lot of money. In Italy try 25EUR.

 

[townfanjon]

Take a hour will it ?

 

[rpm]

Take a hour will it ?

Maxx

 

[LuigiM]

You think it will take 5 hrs? But restaraunt opens at 11:30!
