Just had a gas man round my mums to make sure boiler all ok as she's be in rehab a good few weeks. She's got BG home plan thing.

Anyway I put the heating on last night, all seems ok but don't want any surprises. All seems good but it was due a yearly inspection since she's been away.

Chap from BG turns up, looks at boiler & without saying anything or taking the cover off, looking at the gas meter etc. He says 'you need a new boiler'!!!!

He was there less than 60 secs as I told him to walk away. I feel a complaint email being sent.

Wtf
 
Write them a letter explaining what he said, and that he didn't do any checks before basically condemning it. It's the only way to stop him doing it repeatedly.

We can trundle over there next week to see what the FGA shows and print off the results so you can have some bullets to fire if you like Jay.

Complete rubbish

Do you go into a custards house & condemn a boiler by sight without any inspection & get paid?

Also my mums 83, she'd rather pay £11 a month for peace of mind. & so would I.

Did he actually condemn it? Or just verbally suggest a new boiler?
