kidley Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 A rough guess £1,500 is that for just replacing a combi boiler to existing pipes labour only? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBradleybz Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Hi if its labour only we could come way under the £1500, each job can vary alot for multiple reasons so a quote/visit would always be recommended we always visit before committing to a price.

carterb Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Hi all, My mother had a boiler service and the boiler passed absolutely fine, however it needed a 3-way central heating valve replacement as the valve was sticking, making a buzzing noise and the heating is not coming on. The hot water is fine. We were quoted £150 and told it was a four hour job. This was for one of the cheaper valves, because she is now selling the house. Unfortunately the chap who did the boiler and quoted for us has disappeared off the face of the earth (and I paid him upfront, so if he doesn't find it in him soon to respond to me I will be naming and shaming on this forum, where we found him), so we are looking for somebody else who can come this week. I'll need to see some good positive feedback/credentials etc as sadly the above experience has left us a little sensitive to potentially being ripped off. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carterb Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Just to follow up, we used JBradleybz AKA Jon Bradley on here, and he was great. He was punctual, got the job done quickly, charged less than a previous quote and did a very thorough job. Will be using him again.

wrinkly67 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Heating working but losing pressure on boiler so need to top system up periodically. No leaks from radiators, no evidence of damp patches. Advised there must be a leak under floor. If this is right why not losing water out of radiators?

DerbyTup Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Would it be a good idea to fit a magnetite trap in a central heating system powered by a conventional boiler? Depends whether you're having a lot of trouble with magnetites, to the point where you are wanting to trap them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stvoider Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Hi folks, I'm looking to buy a Hive receiver to control my boiler. I have all the rest of the required kit, thermostat, hub, but I can't find a retailer that sells the receiver separately. I understand that these are the same receivers that were used in the Hive v1. Anyone know where I can pick up one? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomo2001 Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Hi Just wondered if anyone on here has recently replaced a traditional gravity fed hot water system with an unvented cylinder to boost hot water pressure. What is 'ballpark' cost for this where current cylinder is in airing cupboard and header tanks in loft space directly above ? Alternatively anyone fitted a pump to boost the hot water and have any recommendations on installers ? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
