Need my boiler moved any reputable gas engineers in tonbridge area

[J murton]

Hi

Can anyone recommend a good gas/boiler engineer in Tonbridge, Kent who would move my boiler.

It’s currently in the kitchen and id like it outside in the outbuilding/old outdoor toilet which is literally 2 foot away.

Thanks

If it’s not pretty new most people don’t like to move them.
They have a habit of not working again.

I think it’s a 2016 model. It’s a baxi.

I could be wrong, but according to the Baxi website, this is a 2008 model? The first 3 letters are product code then the 2 numbers after are the year of manufacture.

All the same they don’t like being moved. Also what is this outhouse you are proposing for locating? This is not an outdoors type boiler so it will still need to be in a proper room it won’t last long if exposed to the elements

Seeing as nobody answered the Q may I suggest checking the manufactures website for local approved people.

Yes I can see that however like so many threads people engage without answering the Q which should I be the OP would drive me nuts.
Their property so their decision.

 

[Riley]

Fair one

OP - I’d post here

Post 2 answers it for me.

Is it really that bad. When you say it doesn’t work. Doesn’t turn on or not as efficient. Surely can’t be that bad ?

 

[Riley]

They are part of almost a living system it’s been heating, expanding, contracting, pumping, components moving etc they are like ya. Get temperamental when moved. There isn’t always a rhyme or reason to it

 

[J murton]

I’ll call a few locals see what they suggest. Price wise how much would a move cost in your opinion

 

[Riley]

You'd really need eyes on the site to understand the work involved. If you are insistent on trying to get it moved. Please please don’t get on at the installer if it doesn’t work. We have warned you

Impossible to answer without eyes on and post#2 is a generalised reply.

 

[J murton]

It’s got to go. Just some lazy plumber putting it in the kitchen. Literally the worst place it could go in the house. Real eyesore.

Well, if it around 10-11yrs old then I guess you might be due for a replacement soon anyway.

 

[Riley]

I would definitely look at the renewal route may work out cheaper in the long run

 

[J murton]

Yeh may be worth it. I didn’t realise it was so old tbh. Best boilers are Worcester right ?

 

[Riley]

Noooooooooo

 

[Riley]

That my friend is a whole different debate. Look at Vaillant, Viessmann, Glowworm depending on your budget

Think you mean they are best for spending lots of money on advertising and entertaining magazine owners with free lunches. (Allegedly)
