Hi Ed,

I was wondering if you had seen any / many Wickes Combis, the 102,000 btu
item ?
It is a Halstead, possibly the Ace High, with a Wickes badge ?

The sheds and catalogues (Screwfux and TollStation etc.) tend to rebadge
low end boilers to be sold on price.

I really must write the how to choose a boiler FAQ. The gist of it would
be 1) "You get what you pay for (which might also be a name)."
2) "The cost of correct and legal fitting is so high relative to the
unit that it does not pay to go to the cheap end.

For a few hundred more there are some good 35kW combis.
