Same here, or strip if for spares first just in case

i strip down most of the old boiler before it comes off the wall/floor, then I dont knacker my back again and all the copper is sorted fm the brass befoe it goes in my van.

I do exactly the same but my apprentice does it to familiarise him with boilers etc.

im the same as much off as possible before i lift . I bet health and safety would have a lot to say about potterton neta heats if they were around today they were designed to be a one man fit, belive it or not they supplied a bent metal hook that held it up till you got a screw in the flue box

Netaheats are definitely harder to take down than they were to put up 30 years ago :smile:

There is probably over 50 quid of scrap in the old ferolli if they could be bothered to strip it.

 

[lame plumber]

netaheats equate to a workmate and beer bottle box x 2, lots of dust sheets when I miss and step aside

Reading the advert.
This is not a condensing boiler so could NOT be fitted in any domestic property
will not comply with building regs
therefore, it can't be registered.

Who would buy it? No i don't need an answer!

 

[tamz]

I don't think anyone spending £50 quid on a second hand boiler would be much bothered about building regs :smile:

There's loads around my area, I know of a couple of engineers taking out working SE combi's due to various schemes at the moment, most were working fine before they came out
These then get passed on to landlords/cheapskates or fitted by the "engineers" for a few hundred quid on the fiddle
IMHO these boilers should be scrapped/disassembled under supervision so they can't find their way back in use
But, having some working spares can save you loads of time in your breakdowns

I was asked only this evening to fit a second hand Main.... Got told to do one. Then calls back says his mate can get "Baxi 40kw" for around £400 and will fit for cash, asked why I needed to know this reckons I would do it for same ? Reckonings £1840 now you tool. He's a plumber but does gas on side. Ooh a tw0t you mean!
