British Gas will not be able to obtain parts for this boiler.

Really sorry to hear that Frank.

You did the right thing asking for independent advice on here. Perhaps you could seek an independent engineer on here to build a relationship with to look after you going forward? The more forward looking guys & gals are doing a mini version of BGs service but with integrity and compassion and charging less.

Take care

Hi All

I have been with British Gas since 2003, with the same boiler.

Last year we had a buyer for this house and were all set to go and cancelled the British Gas service contract.

The house sale fell through recently (last minute) so I contacted British Gas to take on a fresh service contract.
I wasnt there when the engineer came to service the boiler.

He serviced it and then as he was leaving he said to my wife.
"We will not be able to replace some parts on your boiler if it breaks down".
"We would have to replace it".

The boiler is a floor standing Halstead Buckingham III balanced flue BF 80.
Installed 2000. Ithink.

My question is. Are parts still available for this model of boiler?.

Thank you

Frank

Hello Frank.
I did post before but it vanished. From what I can see, you will still get the Gas valve, Spark electrode and thermocouple for it amongst other bits n bobs. It is mainly obsolete but the list of obsolete parts includes every nut bolt and screw.
My advice, keep your money, put it to one side in case it does break down. If it does find a local Heating Engineer with a good reputation and get them to deal with it.
