At the end of the day, new install must meet Part L building Regulations as well as the Gas Safe stuff and may be Part P for the wiring. So a room thermostat is required as part of the job. Discretion on this is only on system updates, not for a full new system.
Thats all i wanted.....just a working system that meets the regulations, it doesnt matter how cheap they do it, they should make it safe and working properly.
 
But had you gone with a legit installer most likely you wouldn't be on here. W
The plumber told me he wasnt installing the boiler, he said he was getting a GSE to do it....he did it when i wasnt at home, when i questioned him after he had done it he convinced me he was allowed to as long as he didnt connect the gas.
 
This chap is no professional if he is trying to blag out of the roomstat work.
 
The cash world doesn't work like that as you have learned. Usually all you will get is the basics hopefully to standards.
Good judgement comes from experience and experience comes from bad judgement.
That can be applied to every avenue of life.

I know he is not, its hard when its a friend though. I dont usually doubt myself but i did this time. Ive learnt a big lesson.
 
Btw my biggest mistake cost me near a half million £. I didn't realise it at the time either as i walked her up the isle :smile:

I get your point but i could of spent £5.500 and got just the same deal, thats what he said he would of charged if i wasnt a friend......you just dont know ...do you. Nobody knows what they are getting really until the jobs done.

No what you mean." Hurricane romance", all huffing and puffing to start with, then you loose your house.
