I really do object to the above, it infers that it is ok for BG to charge £800 but not a small business. I hope that you were putting BG in your cowbys brackets as well.

I didn't say that at all, and the word is "implies" not "infers".
As far as I'm concerned, BG are the John Wayne of the industry. On many occasions I have pointed out that they are trading on their brand and on the "feel good factor" that the unwary have with dealing with "the gas board". Their prices for most work is substantially higher than the rest of the industry and their service contracts not worth the paper upon which they are written.
I don't think that I have ever posted in support of BG.
I see nothing wrong with a heating engineer having a power flushing machine and using and charging for it where appropriate as part of a complete service.
However, there are operators around who only do power flushing, charge up to £800 a time and don't provide the follow up when things go wrong
- e.g. radiators and valves leaking. This sort of price level is outrageous for the equipment, materials, time and skill involved and such operators should be avoided.
