I'm looking to upgrade my old boiler to a condensing combi and
replace 10 radiators. I've had a number of plumbers in giving me
quotes, one as high as ?4500. One however told me to go to B and Q
and pick up a Ravenheat boiler pack
The problem doing it this way would be if something goes wrong and
the plumber says it's a boiler fault and B&Q say it's the
plumber's fault.
a plumber honest enough to point the OP towards a heat pack
from B&Q is unlikely to lie about a faulty part. (yoda)
Wheras B&Q never lie, and are complete experts on plumbing, able to
assess, simply on looking at you, if it's been installed correctly.
It's between the plumber and the boiler manufacturer, not B&Q.
My experience with manufacturers, just with self-installs, has been
very good. Always helpful and willing to overlook small mistakes.
To the OP, I'd have a look at the Biasi boilers rather than Ravenheat.
B&Q also do them.
I've got a biasi, with the 20% off bonanza I got it and the flue for about
£450 and bunged BiL £100 to hook it up and do a drop test , I mean do
a "tightness test" and sign it off. mostly stainless workings, cheap,
efficient and very quiet.
