[Lukefenner]

Hi all my boiler packed up on Xmas eve (25 years old ) so need someone to install one but. First see about quotes ? Anyone in yeovil/somerset area might be able to look for me? Luke

Roger Welton on here is in Somerset. PM him.

 

[Lukefenner]

Anyone ??

 

[lame plumber]

its xmas hols. give them a chance to relax and get back to you

 

[Lukefenner]

How can I relax I'm cold haven't had heating since Xmas eve "......

 

[lame plumber]

not trying to pee on your pansies but everywhere is closed till monday. where do u expect to get a boiler from?

it would also be useful for you to say what boiler you have at present and the cyl set up etc and what you want to replace it with?

 

[Lukefenner]

Old fashioned boiler 25 years old gas valve went on it but we tried to get the part but they don't do the part for the boiler anymore .. Potterton netaheat 10-16 that's what make the boiler is....

 

[village idiot]

can you get an electric heater for now while you wait? even if it has to be in your bedroom, it will keep out the cold.

 

[Lukefenner]

Yeah we have ... But the land lord is tight.... It won't fish in his pocket for a expensive boiler he would rather go down the cheap road and get cheap...

 

[Killy Bing]

I'm sure i got a gas valve for one of those a few months ago, was your gas engineer sure it was that?

 

[lame plumber]

who will be paying for this boiler, surely your not if its a rented property!

 

[Lukefenner]

Yes it was they don't do them anymore there obsolete they were doing them about four Years ago back then they were £350 the gas engineer said to me.... Wish I could fix it but I'm not gas safe

 

[Lukefenner]

No the tight landlord but he will only get cheap

 

[lame plumber]

So you want someone on here to come and quote for something your landlord probably wont pay for!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and its holiday time!!!!!!!!!
and you need a big reality check I think!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Lukefenner]

No he will be wiling to pay ...... But prob less than 3k I know it's a lot to fit a boiler .

 

[village idiot]

No he will be wiling to pay ...... But prob less than 3k I know it's a lot to fit a boiler .

Try less than £2K. If it's a rented property, and you say the landlord is tight. Then only a desperate RGI from here will attend. If I was any where near you, I'll not bother. Hope he sorts it out soon. If he is going to go down the cheap route, then that is his problem, not yours. All you want is heating and hot water

 

[tamz]

Leave it to the LL to sort out. I know it is you who is cold but it is his problem. You'll be lucky to get a replacement before the new year.

 

[Lukefenner]

Thank you village idiot .. Yeah I'm bloody cold lol we have water on the immersion heater so it's not all bad I suppose last Xmas our toilet broke now this year it's our boiler

 

[Lukefenner]

yeah I know but I'm desperate haha... Cheers anyway

 

[village idiot]

As time goes by, try to see if you can 'sqeeze' his hand so he fits an electric shower. Thankfully, you have an Immersion heater to fall back on. I still fail to understand plumbers who disconnect immersion heaters and plug the hole? When boiler fails, occupants have no hot water and no heating.

 

[Lukefenner]

Yeah I will dont worry about that tight LL .. I wish I was gas safe so I could fix it keep my little one warm lol... Oh well I'm still plumbing bathrooms maybe a few years down the line I can do gas

 

[village idiot]

In the course of you plumbing bathrooms, have you not come across gas people? Always good to make ''friends'' in the various trades. You never know when you may need their help.

 

[Lukefenner]

No not really haven't met any gas people.. Only plasters and tilers ... Lol

 

[Ermintrude]

I'll do it for 2l of scrumpy

 

[Lukefenner]

Haha deal lol
