Know a good gas boiler installer in NE London?

Hi all, as per my other thread here, "Cheapest way to replace dead Combi-boiler??", I am now looking for a recommended engineer who is both honest and good value (i.e. not British Gas) to do a prompt 1-for-1 replacement of my Tenant's Saunier Duval Thelia 623.

Anyone recommended in London E8 or nearby? I have tried Ed Sirett but he's away on hols for 2 weeks :(

as good value as you are likely to find in London and honest.

Sadly not, it's had over £1,500 of parts over the past year (£400 last week) all at BG's expense, and now has a shot wiring loom, multiple water leaks, and more. Time to give up methinks!

WTF have BG been doing to it??!!

Have to say, it is prolly a case of IFF (It's F-ing French!) very few people except SD and SD trained engineers seem to be able to work on these without causing leaks.

I kind of like repairing SD boilers. They come apart so easily,all those nice easy clips and o-rings. I used to find that a two tube pack of araldite was essential equipment for my toolbox becuase you would sometimes find that a plastic complonent would develop a pinhole. A quick drain and blob with araldite did the trick.

That's actually an interesting idea! How would I go about this? I'm ok at DIY but no boiler expert, so are there companies who would take it off my hands for a lump sum? Maybe CET Ltd.?

Thanks for the replies guys. And what sort of quote should I be expecting as 'reasonable' for installing a boiler that I supply, and fitting a room stat and attachment to kitchen sink (very close by)?

Post the right way up and trim to context?
