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 :(
Try Norman Newmarch in N1: 020 7704 8166
as good value as you are likely to find in London and honest.
Great, thanks. Any other suggestions from people also welcome.
Whats wrong with it? Cant it be repaired cheaper than replaced?

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.
Wow...well dont chuck it out then,,break it for spares !

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?
