i recently got called to quote for a new boiler,
it was 2 pensioners with BG care,
they were told spares were not available anymore, it was worn out, about to break and gave them a quote of £5000 to fit a combi, trv's & a flush
(ideal classic, fixed 1 the other week - gas valve, fixed another months ago - pcb, spares are easily available)
they thought it was a bit excessive for something they never knew needed doing so called me after a previous customer of mine told them to get a second quote/opinion.
the boiler is working fine, there is no need to change it,
this is not the first time i have come across this and other methods from BG, they need stopping
dont even get me started on the warmfront contractors and their shoddy jobs for max price, ggrrrr

End of the day they are the biggest gas company in the country who come with a fiull package . Most of the public think they are the bee's knee's and alot of engineers /installers who have left them quote former bg engineer on the vans.My own personal opinion is you will always get some ropey fitters/engineers in any company .On another note i personally have yet to come across a gas engineer who is a quality installer .
