Since I was using the old back boiler here and although it was working I knew it couldn't be repaired, when I got a government leaflet through the door about a free replacement I went for it... I couldn't find a plumber locally who would deal with the old one.
I'll pass over the four (freezing) days the men were here, apart from saying that they mostly didn't speak English and I felt invaded!
Since it was installed in November I has been off once - I was lucky that my neighbour could find someone to fix it.
Now it's off -again-, today... low pressure made it shut down.
I really do not want those people back!
My neighbour thinks I should go back to them - but a visit from Leicester could be very expensive!
Yes, that's where they came from.
Any one else got a free boiler? If so please comment.
