BG are Centrica a private company. They are in the game for money not quality and fairness. Although quality and fairness count toward getting more customers and so making more money.

The thing is, people should complain and to their MP's as well, about the Office of Fair Trade not doing enough or not able to do enough.

It seems it was the same in the US until the consumer champion Frank Nadir got to work. He told people not to buy from those companies that never gave good service and played fair. The thing is the Yankee customers did what he said and so their consumer lobby is probably far stronger than any we have over here.

We Brits seem to put up with anything and buy anything as well.

It amazes me that the majority of these case involve the more vulnerable people in our society, as I have found through first hand experiance.

But there is no point going onto the forum bleating about, now is the time to take action, contact BG and ask them to explain themselves, contact watchdog or rougue traders, and get this bullying, dishonest, double glazing sales attitude from a huge corporation stamped out.

Think that was Ralph Nader, unless he has a brother!

It is Nader, not Nadir, a bit remiss of me not to check the spelling.

Interesting guy!

But as far as I heard years ago they also tried to bump him off.

Well all I can say is i have changed many boilers over that are on systems that were installed 20 years ago and more and none had ever been flushed and when draining down water ran clear all rads hot hot and all I have ever done is mains flush, x400, hot flush, rinse out and inhibit. Both top manufacturers i install are happy to give 5 year warranties on their boilers without power flushing. I think the whole thing is a con. As for magnacleans etc the jury is still out on them.

the main point of this is not the fact about the powerflush but the attitude of BG towards its customers. so this is how its going to work out
When Bg turn up to fit rad they will be asked how long a powerflush should last then the proof of flushing will be shown to them and then they will be told to go whistle
