should i have a room thermostat with my combi boiler.

[baileys]

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 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.

5 n a half grand in his dreams. Even Big Gas wouldn't have taken that.
You will be wiser next time around and i do sympathise with how you have been treated. Most times people offering jobs on the cheap are never a bargain.

You don't need to tell me anything. I know :smile:

5 and 1/2 grand? I would fit you gold plated rads for that and a roomstat

 

[tamz]

Well i don't know about the room stat. That would be an extra tenner :lol:

I did tell him that i was surprised he gets work if he charges that much. I am usually more on the ball but i messed up this time.

Don't beat yourself up about it. Have anther sherry and chill.
I've just finished my bottle of plonk on top of about 6 or 7 pints and the few half i had in the pub so i'm calling it a night.
I've got tanks to pee in and old folks to rip off in the morning :wink:
