Excellent service!
This company provided an excellent service throughout - in servicing the boiler, adjusting the heating system and replacing equipment to the boiler. Also - they communicated with me by phone calls / emails in advance of our first session (boiler service and install faulty equipment). They brought the right equipment with them to install at the same time as the service. I notice that other companies had not offered this level of coordinated service - they wanted to come see first, so charge for 2 sessions.

Very happy customers
So pleased we found GB Plumbing through the Worcester Bosch website after a bad experience with British Gas. Gareth is conscientious, knowledgable, highly skilled and takes a pride in his work. He spent time listening to what we wanted and provided a detailed estimate and was responsive to any questions we had. Our boiler installation and system upgrade went smoothly with a minimum of disruption, they were very careful not to make too much mess and did a good clean up afterward. Gareth also sorted out a longstanding problem with the way our piping was originally installed in 2001. Other engineers we consulted had been unable to even diagnose the problem. Gareth is supported by a strong team (Callum and Chris) working with him and they work to the same high standards. We had a very minor issue after the system had been installed and Gareth had no hesitation in coming back and sorting this out for us quickly.

Professional, helpful and highly recommended
I found Gareth via the Trusted Traders website and from the very first communication he proved extremely helpful and supportive. He came to our appointment at my son's flat on time and was very clear in terms of his advice and comments. He took time to conduct a thorough examination of the heating and hot water system to clearly understand the underlying problem and was totally honest in terms of his assessment. He identified the root cause of the problem (which was not what I had been led to believe by other plumbers) which was a faulty circulation pump. He was able to give a quote on the spot. Having later accepted his quote we were quickly able to agree a date and time for the work to be done. He came as arranged, completed the work as agreed (which also included the separate removal of a "douche" unit in the bathroom). The heating and hot water system now works perfectly and I am extremely satisfied. Later on the same day, he provided a certificate of the work done, pictures of the finished work and the invoice. Communication throughout has been extremely clear and helpful and I would thoroughly recommend GB Plumbing and Heating.

Five star 🌟 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ plus
I was fortunate to have Gareth (a recommended Worcester Bosch plumber)and Callum fit my Worcester Bosch 4000 boiler Gareth changed the gas piping and exterior piping and fitted a new Hive Smart Control all at a very reasonable price (£1000 cheaper than a British Gas quote) Communication was excellent, they arrived on the dot of 8 am and were finished by mid afternoon. They left the room where the boiler was fitted immaculately clean and tidy They were professional and friendly and I now have a plumber I can rely on for servicing the boiler and any other plumbing issues I am VERY happy to recommend Gareth at GB Plumbing

Fantastic workmanship and work ethic
Gareth and his team mate attended our flat that was in desperate need of a new working boiler. He installed a Worcester Bosch CDi Compact and it looks and works perfectly. They also installed 2 new radiators and flushed out the old system and made it work like new again. Absolute legends! They also removed an ancient hot water system that was installed in the flat from the mid 1960s! In addition to all of this, Gareth has promised a 10 year guarantee on the boiler, which has given us peace of mind on such a big purchase. I will definitely have him back for any maintenance or additional work I may have in the future. Thanks Gareth and co. You guys helped us out massively at a very important part of the refurbishment process. -John

Replacing boiler under difficult circumstances
My original boiler had been incorrectly fitted using half inch rather than three quarter inch gas piping which meant a new 'feed' had to run from the meter. This was a real problem as I have a 'bespoke' fitted kitchen which couldn't be moved easily and a newly completed under stairs toilet between the meter and the boiler location. Gareth is a "Can Do'" sort of person, very experienced and easy to get on with. He worked with me to come up with a solution that involved running a 'flexipipe' under the floor via an inspection hatch in the toilet, through the toilet/kitchen brick wall under the kitchen units out through the external kitchen wall and back throughout the same wall to the boiler. It would have been so much easier for him to walk away from the job! The whole job was completed in two days as promised and he returned, free of charge, following the job's completion to correct a 'snag' that had arisen from him helping me out with an issue that had nothing to do with installation. He works brilliantly with his assistant Callum who is lovely too and I can't recommend his company highly enough

Replacement of old boiler and cylinder in a tricky location
I used Gareth as part of the Worcester Bosch Fast Track service to replace my boiler when regular WB service engineers had a problem with the position of my boiler due to new safety regulations. I was previously told that I would need to remove a tiled cabinet surrounding the boiler in order to move the boiler (initially envisaged to go into the loft), but Gareth redesigned the configuration for me and installed a more modern boiler slightly smaller in size turned by 90 degrees into the same cabinet, and improved access by cutting a hole through the tiled panel. I was very happy to retain the bathroom cabinet. Gareth also changed the cylinder for me, installed a new shower pump, and redid the wiring and pipework to make everything more accessible and tidy, and I was very pleased with the result. I cannot speak highly enough of the quality and accuracy of his work and his customer service, and would definitely recommend him and his assistant Callum to other customers.

Recently had a new boiler installed by Gareth and his team from GB Plumbing. The whole process was amazing from quote to completion. A week later I had accidentally changed the settings on my thermostat which stopped it working. I contacted Gareth and he came immediately and fixed it. Such a professional team and would recommend them in a heartbeat. Honest, efficient and pleasant. Great experience and will highly recommend to all family and friends.

Transparent, Helpful and Highly recommended
I booked Gareth to instal a new boiler, and I must say that my experience was nothing short of excellent. One aspect that particularly impressed me was Gareth's commitment to clear communication. He went above and beyond by bringing his sister along. She was fluent in British Sign Language (BSL), allowing seamless communication throughout the installation of my new boiler. This ensured that I was updated at every step of the process. I was able to put my whole trust in him completely. In conclusion, I am more than satisfied with Gareth's plumbing service. His fees were reasonable and fair. His excellence, transparency, and willingness to go the extra mile, such as bringing in a BSL interpreter for communication, make him a standout professional in his field. I wholeheartedly recommend Gareth for any plumbing needs.

Exceptionally good service & excellent value for money!
Gareth and his team installed a new Worcester Greenstar boiler for us yesterday and their service could not have been better. Efficient, professional, speedy and well organised, on schedule and to a reasonable budget. Gareth went over and above in terms of what was needed including reorganising and refitting some old pipework and wiring which was muddled and untidy. Not only that he gave me helpful advice on a couple of other issues not relating to the boiler. I have no hesitation in recommending him to others.

Exceptional heating experts!
It is not very often that I write reviews about tradespeople, but this time, I had no choice. It would be hard not to recognise the exceptional service I was given by the GB Plumbing & Heating team. It was time for a replacement of my 14-year-old boiler, and I found details of Gareth on WHICH. It took only a few days before Gareth attended my property and thoroughly analysed the heating system situation. Only a couple of hours later, I received a quote for replacing my boiler—no extra or hidden costs. The quote was fair, final and transparent. Less than a week later, the team arrived to complete the job. Gareth is a dedicated, passionate and knowledgeable heating and plumbing expert. With his keen and hardworking employee Callum, they have completed a fantastic job, removing the old boiler, installing the new one, and balancing my heating system in only 1.5 days. There was not a day without hot water!!! Not to mention that it almost felt like they were not there, immaculate as well. They are exceptional professionals, and I can only say that they exceeded my expectations with their level of expertise. GB Plumbing & Heating guarantees peace of mind regarding heating and plumbing issues. They are certainly my only and obvious choice. Highly recommended!!!!

Very professional work
I had a combi boiler fitted to replace a faulty one, not a complicated job but I found Gareth and his colleague to be neat, professional and polite throughout the install. I really think they did a good job of tidying up some of the mess from a previous install. Speaking of mess, there was nothing left behind at all, not a speck of dust. They used carpet protector on the stairs and hovered up behind themselves before they left .I would definitely recommend these guys to anyone.

We highly recommend Gareth Butcher and his team after having had a Worcester Bosch boiler installed recently. He came and did a very thorough and practical site visit resulting in a competitive quote that covered all the work needing to be done. The installation was carried out efficiently and promptly and the system has been working very well since. The whole experience was extremely positive, and Gareth’s professionalism was evident throughout. We are delighted his firm will be servicing the boiler annually.

Fantastic job
We had an old corroded conventional boiler and pipes replaced with a Combi system, which was installed in the most professional manner by Gareth and his colleagues. From the provision of a quotation to answering questions whilst we decided who to employ, Gareth was the epitome of patience and professionalism. The job was completed very efficiently and his work was excellent and very methodical. From the moment they arrived, everything went smoothly. The floor and stairs were covered with protective covering and they left the place very clean and tidy when they finished. Gareth and his assistant went above and beyond the call of duty to ensure that everything was done to our satisfaction. We now have a lovely Combi which is life changing :) ,works perfectly and is guaranteed for 10 years. Reasonable prices and we highly recommend Gareth.

Our shower was a dribble and our old boiler had broken 😞. Gareth turned up to inspect the job and to give an accurate estimate and there and then replaced a valve that doubled the strength of the water pressure in the whole house. He returned the next day to replace the boiler to a Worcester Bosch boiler which works brilliantly and now all the radiators in the house work like never before and we can enjoy gushing hot water showers.

New boiler - quick, safe and good price
I contacted Gareth based on some recommendations in our neighbourhood app. Our old boiler had given up on life. Gareth responded quickly, sized a new boiler for us and installed within one day. All working perfectly. All within budget. I managed to damage my external condensation pipe trying to clear my external drain and Gareth came back to the house to sort it out for me without additional charge. Gareth was professional throughout. I didn't feel pressured or unclear about anything and found him to be completely trustworthy. Grateful (and now warm). Thank you.

Excellent and professional boiler installation!
Gareth, of GB Plumbing, recently carried out our new boiler installation. The experience was seamless, Gareth is an exceptional professional, very knowledgable and friendly to deal with. From the start, he was very helpful in discussing the various options, explaining the various issues that can arise, especially in an old flat like our's, and had a real in-depth knowledge and experience. He and his team carried out the installation in a day, all super-friendly and respectful, a professional enterprise all round. Very tidy and considerate and ensured things were left clean afterwards. I can't recommend Gareth and GB Plumbing highly enough. They obviously have a lot of experience around the North London area and Muswell Hill in particular, and it's nice to have gone with a more local company. The price was very competitive and a lot cheaper than British Gas. If you need help with a boiler, don't hesitate to use GB Plumbing.

Above and beyond
We recently renovated our first house and we had several trades in, no one stood out like Gareth of GB Plumbing. Firstly, when he came round to quote, he took his time and explained every scenario to us as a family. Even if something was a higher price to other plumbers he would explain why he felt he would recommend it, but still give us the choice. Went with GB due to the care and thought he showed, as if it was his own project. In between quotation and start date, he even popped in when I needed help with radiator sizes and positions. When he started the job, he never disappointed; was there when he said, made sure it was completed on time and even came across a couple of unexpected speed bumps... didn’t deter them, just spent more time on it to make sure it was right. During the few days Gareth and his apprentice were here we popped in a few times with our kids and they were great to them. We ended up with a great job done, even better than what we expected, and also better than what they quoted. Other trades since, including our bathroom fitter complemented their work. I have since recommended to my friends and will continue to recommend. Not the cheapest quote we received, but best decision we did putting our new house in their capable hands.

We cannot recommend Gareth and GB Heating more highly. We used GB Heating for a new boiler installation of a Worcester Bosch, as well as to fix some issues with our heating system. GB were quick, honest and open about the costing, available dates, and attended site early on the specified day and worked hard throughout the day to get our house warm again! GB were the only plumbers that correctly identified the cause of our issues and worked hard to get it fixed for us as quickly as possible on the same day. When they had finished we had heating and hot water for the first time in weeks! Cannot recommend them more highly, the service was friendly, professional and crucially effective!

Reliable, professional and excellent work
I had a Worcester Bosch Combi installed by gb plumbing. The work entailed Before, During n After. Before- Gareth came to look at my current system and after a thorough review recommended the Combi system. During - he and his team installed the new system with professionalism, speed and integrity. It was done in less than the planned 2 days. Everything was done methodically from the laying of protection to my flooring, the installation process to completion with all the pipes neatly aligned to the new boiler and all old pipes, boiler and waste were removed seamlessly without even us noticing. Gareth is someone who clearly knows what he is doing. He promised and delivered- Boom boom boom. After- Gareth came over couple of days later without hesitation after I informed him I could not remember how to use the thermostat properly. Gareth is worth his weight in gold. I am very happy with our new boiler in its simplicity and the manner Gareth had installed it. He took the stress out of the process. It’s very refreshing to come across smart and intelligent service providers who know what they are doing in an area that is so specialized and technical. He truly understands what customer service and support is. I strongly recommend Gareth to anyone who is considering a new boiler system. I was very lucky that I found him. Am very pleased indeed. Kudos to someone so young and so technically capable n professional. He delivered n did a fantastic job indeed!! He is truly trustworthy.

Excellent work with professionalism and integrity
We had a Worcester Combi Boiler installed. Gareth recommended the capacity of the boiler after evaluating our needs. I had to give this review because he did an excellent job in the time frame as agreed. He worked tirelessly throughout and delivered with integrity, knowledge and professionalism. We have had poor past experiences with other service providers and it is sooooo amazing and a windfall for us to find people like Gareth who really know what he is doing and did it properly and with real technical knowledge. All the pipes were neatly aligned and everything was cleaned up after the work done. Kudos to Gareth who covered all areas and his ability to think ahead of the curve. We thank god for having found this engineer. He got the job done boom boom boom- 2 days ( or really 1 1/2 days it was completed.) All waste, old tanks n pipes were cleared and discarded by him. Start to finish was fantastic . This is what I call 5 star quality. Everything now is so simplified and excessive pipes we had under the old conventional system was got rid off. Finally I can only say Gareth is truly worth his weight in gold. We will not hesitate to recommend him to anyone who is looking for a heating engineer. He works with another colleague and both delivered. Thank you Gareth n team. Note: just his boxes of tools that they utilised on the job was awesome!! They are a no nonsense quality driven service providers who are focused on delivering their best in their area of expertise.

Professional, reliable and extremely competent
Gareth and his team installed a new boiler replacing an old one that happily lived in our kitchen ( so old that no one would service it). At our first meeting it became quickly apparent that Gareth was knowledgeable, experienced, reliable , was open to suggestions , approachable and could work collaboratively. It was clear that the boiler had to be moved to the cellar and potentially, as I was told by a previous engineer, there could be quite a lot of disruptive work both in the cellar and more importantly in the kitchen. I was really impressed by how calmly and thoughtfully Gareth came up with a solution that created no disruption what so ever. After the work was finished I thought he is like Gold Dust. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough.

Superb job from a professional and friendly team
In summary: Gareth and his team did a fantastic job to a high standard at a good price! The job was to replace an old gravity-fed central heating system with a new Worcester Bosch combi-boiler and Stelrad radiators throughout the whole house. They were hard-working and focussed on the job, completing it to a high standard in just 2 days while keeping the house as clean as possible. Some highlights: - Gareth gave me a lot of advice choosing the right boiler for my budget and requirements - They managed to conceal pipes that were originally going to be exposed, keeping the look of the room clean - I wanted one of the radiators raised a few inches, and they happily re-mounted and re-plumbed it without any hassle - They covered carpeted areas with non-slip plastic film for protection - Before leaving, they vacuum-cleaned thoroughly to remove any remaining debris Above all, from start to finish Gareth was friendly, honest, and professional.

They were diligent in getting the work done quickly and efficiently, all done with a smile. The whole team worked together well. If there were any problems we were not aware of them. I would definitely recommend Gareth and his team to anyone and would use them again without hesitation. I cannot rate them highly enough - a 6 star rating!

Professional, good work and reliable
We decided that we wanted to replace our old Glowworm boiler with a Worcester Bosch. We picked three local recommended fitters. GB Plumbing was the most efficient and clear at the quote stage. Gareth gave good advice on some issues we had. He was able to fit in our installation quite quickly even though it was December. He and Chris did the boiler installation, system drainage and radiator valve replacements and cleared up well. We had a problem shortly afterwards but they quickly came back to deal with it. This was done in December 2016. We had it serviced by Gareth last year. The boiler has worked very well now for 18 months. Our gas bills have gone right down. Would recommend using GB Pumbing.

Highly recommended
Gareth replaced a combi boiler for me some months ago and I was very pleased with the service I received. Gareth took the time to answer my queries to enable me to make an informed choice as to which boiler to go for. The installation process was efficient and really straightforward and everything was left tidy. I have no hesitation in recommending Gareth and his team to anyone.

Totally professional work and would always use Gareth going forwards
I have had Gareth install two domestic boilers for me over the past few months. In each case the quality of service received has been exemplary. Gareth has not only done a high quality installation, he has been prompt, courteous and reliable. I would very strongly recommend him.

Superb work and customer service
Gareth and his team fitted my boiler nearly three years ago (and were superb at the time). Since then there has been excellent follow-up service, particularly getting in touch for annual maintenance and supplying replacement parts. I have recommended this company to friends with confidence!

New Combi Boiler Fitted
New boiler fitted. Very pleased and impressed with the service from start to finish. Gareth walked me through exactly what work would be done and what boiler would be best for my house and sent me a very competitive quote that same day! Gareth and Chris did an amazing job working flat out for five and a half hours without a break, and you wouldn't even know they were here.. no mess at all! Everyone was very friendly and courteous throughout. I paid exactly what he quoted after all the work was completed. Thanks alot for quick turnaround. Highly recommend.

Our conventional boiler died, and we decided to take the plunge and change to an unvented system. Having seen the good reviews, I called Gareth. He completely understood the urgency of the job (three teenage daughters and no hot water!). He provided us with a very detailed quote, started work immediately, and did an amazing job. He had to replace and move both boiler and cylinder to our basement, change the pipes, flush and rebalance all the radiators, and did all this with no mess or disruption. Gareth is a true professional, and his work is of a very high standard. He is happy to tackle a complicated job, and work out solutions to any problems that may arise.

I have read all the reviews about GB Plumbing before I contacted Gareth
It is until he did the job of replacing my old boiler that I found all the positive reviews here are true. They are the honest ongoing testimonials of Gareth's works. He is reliable coz he took the trouble to reply every enquiry I made via emails. A good plumber is always super busy but he is able to fit my job in at his earliest availability which I can't thank you enough. His quote is the best, both money and quality-wise. He first won my confidence by showing me all the relevant certificates and he was the only one to describe mine is a straightforward job whereas others told me the contrary. He replaced the old boiler and some of the pipes behind the kitchen cabinet, secured the flue outside the wall (second floor of a block) . . . efficiently and professionally; job done from 8:30am - 1:30pm. Gareth and Chris kept the job's noise level to the minimum. They covered all the working areas with cardboards and towels, if need be. They bought their own powerful hoover to make clean every corner that they had worked at. The job was completed, mpney paid, bu I still received his email today, informing me that the registration certificate and warranty cert. are still to come. Last but not least, both Gareth and Chris are friendly and polite. Summing up, a truly hassle-free experience. All the best, Chings

Impressed
A burst pipe somewhere in a bedroom, water running down the wall. I turned the water off and went to Trusted Trader. This was the 5th one I rang. I was so relieved when Gareth said he would come that afternoon. He came as promised, found where the pipe was, he removed an architrave without damage, removed the old piece of lead pipe and capped it off as well as another hot water pipe that I asked him to do. Gareth was straight forward, efficient and a pleasure to have in the house. I would definitely use him again.

Excellent service, highly recommended
GB Plumbing and Heating installed our new boiler and did an excellent job. When Gareth initially attended he clearly explained what would be required, and the options we had for location of both the boiler and pipework. All the work was completed as described, within estimate, and agreed time frame. He even managed to fit the boiler within an existing kitchen cupboard and left the whole work area as clean as when he arrived. I wouldnt hesitate to use GB Plumbing and Heating again, and would recommend for similar work.

Very happy with a boiler replacement
Gareth replaced my ageing boiler with a new Worcester-Bosch combi boiler. He did an excellent job and I couldn't be happier about the work: * Identified all issues with the existing system (such as a lack of drainage for the condensation pipe), explained how they need to be addressed and included it in his quote - no surprises on the day. * Worked efficiently and thoroughly to install the new boiler, fitting it accurately in the tight space available. * Worked to a high standard: The new piping and wires were all lined up properly so the overall result looks very tidy. The soakaway was installed with careful attention so it is barely noticeable. * Moved all of the wiring for the controller from the hot water tank next to the boiler, so I would have an easy time upgrading the controller. * Used floor protection and cleaned up after his work, I didn't have to do as much as mop after him and his colleague. Overall I was very happy with Gareth's work - in terms of speed, efficiency and quality. My heating system is in a much better shape thanks to him and the whole process was as trouble-free as possible.

Please use with confidence
Gareth and Jason were excellent from start to finish. The quote for a full boiler installation took 1.5 hours and was extremely detailed. We were given dates and a time frame which were both stuck to and there were no hidden costs that popped up throughout the job. They were really pleasant to have around and made what could have been a stressful few days really easy. I will definitely be using them again - please use with confidence.

Highly professional. When he visited us he pointed out problems and gave solutions that had been missed by others. His quote was lower than others. He arrived on time and completed the work within 48 hours. Work was clean and tidy with minimum disruption. Five stars all round. Highly recommend.

Excellent plumber - only take note of the good reviews, the other one makes no sense
This is the second boiler install by Gareth for me and my family. Always very easy to get along with and build trust. Has excellent knowledge and skill with this trade and gave us full confidence again in his ability to do a great job. Offered loads of good solid advice, and executed the work in good time with no problems. I have him back for any future service jobs and will recommend him to others
I trust a trader!

Very efficient, tidy and competent. We had a reasonably straightforward boiler replacement carried out, but other issues the managed to identify and solve other issues with the electrics that have been sorted out. Very pleased with their service and would recommend them highly.

Boiler Installation (Removal of Back Boiler for Combi)
Gareth provided exceptional work and service when installing our boiler. His prices were competitive. His explanation of the work before, during and afterwards was comprehensive. He covered the floors and always cleaned up when he finished for the day. He always arrived at the time he organised beforehand. I would use his services again and would be more than happy to recommend him to anyone needing a boiler installation.

Gareth was quick to respond, competitively priced and had the installation done efficiently and effectively. He and Chris made sure they covered the floors and cleaned up properly then they had finished. I'm very pleased with the work they did.

Takes no responsibility for shoddy workmanship
I can't believe you are featuring Gareth Butcher as a trusted trader. We used his services to install a new Worcester-Bosch combi-boiler and replacement shower in May 2014. I since had to get another plumber, and an electrician, to fix his installation. Various issues with the quality of his work: 1. He installed the condensate pipe to the waste going uphill! After about 2 months the boiler failed with an error code, as the condensate siphon was full. Had to call out a Worcester Bosch engineer to fix this (under warranty). He couldn't believe the pipework had been installed going "uphill", and I had to get another plumber to fix this. 2. Where he removed the control unit for the old boiler, he put on an ill-fitting face plate. When I went to replace it with something better, there were live bare cables behind it (my mains tester screwdriver was glowing), which had not been terminated. I emailed him about this, but no response. I had to get an electrician to tidy this up safely. 3. Where he replaced the shower, he didn't even fill the old screw holes from the old shower. 4. All rubbish was left outside our house. He was more than happy to take the old copper hot water tank, though. 5. We noticed a name and number written on the wall of our airing cupboard. He obviously took a call from another customer, and didn't have any paper to hand, so wrote on our wall.

Brilliant and efficient
From the time Gareth quoted on replacing my boiler, to the fantastic and swift work he and Chris did in replacing it, I knew I had chosen the right engineers. They were considerate, very knowledgeable, kind, clean and did a fantastic job. I know who to contact for any further plumbing work. Thanks so much Gareth and Chris.

Replacement boiler
We were impressed by Gareth when he came to survey what we needed and to offer us advice about a new system. It became clear then that he was extremely knowledgeable and experienced. His suggestions were really helpful and when it arrived, the quotation was easy to understand and very clear. The price was competitive. The work was completed on time and efficiently. The overall result was that we now have an excellent system. No mess was left and the team were friendly and helpful. The new pipes are a work of art! Gareth is a perfectionist!

Professional guys
I wanted to find a trustworthy plumber to changed my system boiler to a combination one, and I did have several quotes. However, they all gave me different plans about which boiler I have to choose or where to put the boiler. Gareth's was very straight forward and clear, and most importantly thought things in my position. Before I made decision, I worried our water pressure was not enough with a combi (it was very low when measured via kitchen mixer tap). Only Gareth came to our home again, and managed to measure it from the washing machine side. He is super professional and technological, very good at his job, personally, he is also quite polite, and very patient to his customer. His team completed everything on schedule and well tidied up everywhere. Highly recommend to everyone, actually I have already give his number to any friend who need plumber.

Totally reliable, professional and trustworthy
GB installed our new boiler 5 years ago, we went for the one they recommended and have never had one single problem in all that time. They service it once a year and that's it. We've probably saved the cost of the boiler in insurance and energy savings over that time - brilliant, couldn't recommend them more.
