stevie_b Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 This probably belongs in the "Wanted" section, but it's quite an urgent request and I wanted to ensure that anyone who can genuinely help sees it. My in-laws (also in Hampshire) are in urgent need of a new boiler for their 3 bed semi. They did have one lined up ready to be fitted tomorrow but it doesn't work. It's a long story but there's no come-back on it. They got it as part of a job-swap. I'm not expecting anyone to give me a new boiler for free but if anyone on here works in the trade or knows where to get a decent new boiler (preferably in the next day or so) for reasonable money, please let me know. Thanks in advance, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 It would be Monday before I could organise something Stevie. What is the original boiler? H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_b Posted September 23, 2011 Author Share Posted September 23, 2011 Thanks H, I really appreciate it. The non-functioning boiler that was due to be fitted is a Vaillant I think. I can find out the model tomorrow. The old boiler that needs replacing is very old, probably 25+ years old, and has been condemned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My business partner owns a company that supplies boilers but you will pay through the nose for the named brands. I could just do with some details of the property, number of bedrooms, radiatiors etc. I am assuming that it is not a combi boiler? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_b Posted September 24, 2011 Author Share Posted September 24, 2011 An update: the in-laws have bought a new boiler today locally. The heating engineers who are doing the work are only available until Wednesday so they wanted to buy one ASAP. Thanks for the offer of help H, really appreciate it. Sorry for mucking you about.

I didn't do anything. What have they bought? My dad had his done about 5 years back and got a local plumber in who advised him on a decent boiler. He never asked my opinion and has regretted it ever since. H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_b Posted September 25, 2011 Author Share Posted September 25, 2011 They've bought another Vaillant ecotec. I think it's pretty similar to the non-working one. Not sure whether it's a combi though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
