Don't I know it! At first I thought "This is going to be very expensive!"
The boiler was fitted about 5 years ago by a friend of a friend of a friend. He works for a large "heating engineers" company but does household jobs for holiday money. Luckily he wrote his name/number on the wall next to boiler. Even luckier his number hadn't changed and he answered at 8:30 am on Xmas eve!
Apparently he squeezed us in between calling at about 10 other houses to make sure people had heating for Christmas. In his words he "felt sorry" for people and almost felt ashamed to ask us for £40. We gave him a nice bottle of wine too. Kind of restores your faith in humanity when people are like that and when you can't help but feel (especially at this time of year) that every bastard in the world is after for you money!
If we'd cold-called a plumber from the Yellow Pages it could have cost hundreds and hundreds of pounds.
