ME Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 I am at the end of my tether with the Keston boiler that we inherited with the house. Can anyone recommend someone local to Billericay Essex to come and fit a new boiler ? Any other makes to avoid ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosd Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 My recomendation would be to get a Vailant boiler. Loads of cheaper boilers out there but they cost you more in the long run and not as efficient so your bills are higher too. Had a Vailant in my last house for 14 years and it was brilliant, it was in the house when we bought it so it was even older than that; Never let me down. Just had one fitted in my new house which is almost twice the size of the last house and heating bills are the same because obviously the newer boilers are more efficient. Can't recomend a fitter but you want a Corgi registered person to fit it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VicW Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 I've had my old boiler for over fifty years now and she still warms me up!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 We've a Potterton gold boiler and no complaints have to say I've fitted combi boilers to our last couple of houses and as long as you get a decent sized one its nearly like having power showers and no tanks taking up cupboards or the loft. Plus all cold taps are then mains fed rather from tanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henry d Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 Worcester Greenstar condenser for me, my gas bills are dramatically reduced ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plumbob Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 Vaillant are top notch very well made, Glow-worm are part of the Vaillant group and are also worth a look. Look on Gas Safe web site to find an installer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bb Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 Recently had fitted a POTTERTON Pro Max Combi. Should have done it years ago, all of house now warm, instant hot water whenever, no tank, mains pressure water at all taps and severly reduced running costs.

lord_seagrave Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 Worcester Bosch here. I'm not sure if the guy I used to supply and fit mine (Bromley/Kent) goes out as far as you, but he was absolutely top-notch. PM me if you would like the number.
