URGENT !! reliable BOILER repair person! (and a tip of who NOT to use!)
Hi Friends,
Can anyone recommend a BOILER REPAIR person who you have actually used and been very happy with the service? A SAFE RECOMMENDATION IS URGENTLY REQUIRED. If you're bored and feel like reading about my boiler problem, read on. Otherwise just reply with a recommendation!
When i moved into my place, the boiler worked fine but thought i'd have it checked over by a Gas Safe guy to make sure i wasn't being gassed in the night! I invited FLAMEOUT over, who tinkered around and all seemed well. He told me my boiler was an older model but had plenty of life in it yet.
However, since his visit, (which was back in March), my boiler is behaving very badly. I think it's a valve problem... If i use the central heating, the hot water will not work after wards. This happened immediately after the FLAMEOUT visit and i called their receptionist who sweetly said the boiler service must've "awakened" some fault in the boiler. I didn't call them back in, because i suspected they deliberately messed with my boiler for more jobs from me. GET REAL.
Anyway, over the summer, i had no need for the central heating, so hot water worked well.
Now the weather has gotten colder, i put the heating on the other night forgetting my problem and have been without hot water now for 4 days ~~~ The heating is on, without me turning it on. It's like all the hot water meant to come out my taps, goes into the radiators! It's ridiculous! I have to keep the boiler turned off completely, otherwise the heating is stuck on and the boiler overheats.
TIP: DO NOT USE FLAMEOUT !!!
Anyone have a better experience with boiler repair and servicing?
URGENT ADVICE IS NEEDED , also a shower! haha! There's only so much dry-spray-shampoo i can use.

I use Michael Moran, can't recall his co. name just now, he's very reliable and honest. He will charge VAT/issue invoice so if you're after a cheap cash job he's not your man. He's grew up just up the road - 07831298933.

Everybody recommend Rob Murray but I have a terrible experience with him
8th September: called and sent a message with all detail of repair required. He told me he would have been in touch in the following days to agree a date
15th September: he sent me a text meant to somebody else for another repair. When I pointed it out, apologised and told me he would come the following week
14th October: not having heard from him I contacted him again. He apologised and told me he would come end of the week.
28th October still silence so I contacted him and he told me he would come the following day at 9am
9.40 today: I took time off from work to wait for him but no sign of him yet and no messages/amswers to my texts/callsI find it unprofessional and upsetting. If you don't have time or for whatever reason you don't want to do it just tell me

I would also recommend Dave from Highline Heating. He replaced our boiler. Not quite the cheapest quote but he's up front and honest I think, and very nice.

When doing any gas work always call a registered Gas Engineer, he will have a Gas Safe Registration card with his photo on it, you can call Gas Safe to check https://engineers.gassaferegister.co.uk/Default.aspx that they are registered.

Hi, sounds like there is more wrong with your central heating system, maybe you could get a few estimates as to updating it, this boiler sounds dangerous if it keeps overheating, when you say that the engineer came in March is that March 2012 as thats 7 months after they had been there surely it could be that there are a number of things wrong with you central heating and plumbing situation.
In my 32 years with Flameout, we have always tried to be fair, trustworthy and very polite, using engineers who take the time to explain to our clients. Surely you are commenting from your personal perspective. I think its quite mean to say this about our reputable company.
There is obviously a lot wrong with your system but seriously I hope you have got someone in to sort the problem by now, brrrrrrrrrrrrr......
Just saying.....

Not all plumbers are gas boiler technicians. For this kind of serous work, I go to N4 Gas. They are a team, highly professional and have never let me down.
