Replacing an old gas boiler, new site, new flue etc but retaining old tanks and pipework
I identified a safety issue with my elderly boiler just before Easter so was faced with trying to find a gas registered installer to replace it in short order. This was trickier than I thought due to the holiday period. Thanks to mild weather and showers at the gym, I coped. After several failed enquiries, I was put in touch with Peter at Herts Plumbing. He responded quickly and came to do a site visit that day. We discussed my requirements, he listened carefully and gave advice where needed. A quote for the works arrived promptly & was competitive. I’d done my homework, Peter patiently answered all my questions & a date for the work was agreed with a lead time of 7 days, & an expectation it would take 2 days. Peter and colleague arrived on time and quickly made a start. They worked tidily and methodically inside the house & out. A gas supply problem was noted and dealt with by summoning a third colleague who efficiently sorted it out (a reasonable added cost). Installation including one new radiator, thermostatic valves and system flush was completed in two days but a short visit to replace the struggling old pump (agreed added cost) meant the boiler was commissioned on the third morning. Peter went through all the paperwork and explained the boiler operation in detail. He registered the new boiler with the supplier the next day and all the required documentation plus invoice was emailed to me promptly. Very happy with my experience overall, just a bit of cosmetic diy to do.
