El Cid Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 we are having our 7 year old gas boiler serviced soon what is the going rate for an independent job? I paid £55 for a simple service, I have seen gas engineers advertising £60/£70; but I did see a van parked up on a main road in Leeds, advertising a service for £45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave h-j Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Is Jon (JBradleybz) at JB Heating services still on the go? He's not posted for about a year and the website link on his old posts go nowhere I was looking for a quote for a combi replacement for a valliant, seeing as he did a good job on my external expansion vessel about 5 years ago.

leelister6 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Hi I’m just wondering what the regulations are ? They'll be in the M.I. of the boiler you're having fitted/moved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Full Moon Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 (edited) This started around my old boiler breakdown but can't remember before or after. The noise seems doesn't connect to any use of water, like flushing toilet, using cold/hot water, or central heating is on/off. The noise appears at random times day and night even when water or central heating both not in use. We’ve bleed all the radiators, switch the main water supply to lower lever. No change. Anybody can explain this? I can't call a plumber in standing for hours to waiting for the noise coming up. If lucky enough, it will settle down after sometime? Or, any plumber here can fix it please send me a message with your plan and quote, please. Edited October 4, 2018 by Full Moon No quotes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it next occurs turn off the main stop tap completely, if this stops the noise then that's the problem! One of the plumbers on here will sort you out!

Full Moon Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Thank you zaci. Thank you for your advice. I'll give it a try tonight. ---------- Post added 05-10-2018 at 21:30 ---------- @zaci You are right. Turning off the main stop tap stopped the noise. Also,I seem lucky enough that the noise has getting weaker and not as often as before. A PRV installation maybe need if the noise getting louder again. Probably water hammer! When it next occurs turn off the main stop tap completely, if this stops the noise then that's the problem! One of the plumbers on here will sort you out!

boysheff Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 I have two boilers, 1) for water & 2) for heating that are glow worm and need a service. any can quote me or advice best place to ring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Brick Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 I had a Glow worm boiler and last year I was told that some of the parts were no longer available by the Homeserve gas specialist on its annual service. Ziggy from ZD Plumbing Heating has a few parts that kept mine going for another year but I have decided to get a new one for this winter as I'm not going to risk a week in the cold as it will probably break down when I need it although it has kept going for 18 years.
