Boiler service query

[BobbyJoe]

Great as in installing the boiler and radiators the year before and what I thought was a great offer the following year to service it as well.

I now stand corrected

I think everyone here would agree 8 mins is not achievable even for the most basic service .
Although the boiler is only 1 year old and the person knows the system as they installed.
30mins is a quick job 60 minutes normal and 90 mins in-depth service.

Apart from anything else a Vokera only fires at 75% output for 15 minutes after each start up, maybe possible to override for servicing purposes.

I suppose if the person testing originally carried out the installation and knows the system and finds the boiler evidently as he originally installed it, then all he needs to look at is its current state, not was it installed correctly. So I suppose, if the manufacturer requires only an emissions test and nothing else so long as it passes, then it's fine. It's a manufacturer's service not a gas safety inspection and the installer has done what the manufacturer requires. But if what Shaun and John say is correct, then he has not followed manufacturer's specifications, has he?

I'm always of the opinion that while it's fine to charge a customer x much for the first hour, rushing out when you could be thorough is poor.

What happened to the proposal to require an annual inhibitor test? Did that law ever come into play?

It’s a British standard not sure if the number
