Wait till he finds out what bankers get paid for doing what
Slightly different isn't it. If this gas guy generated me a few million in profit I'd pay him a decent wedge for doing so.
Or if he crashed world economy he would get a bonus.

My simple troll is to make sure unequivocally that my payment reference can only be for business reasons
Its nice to see in these times of austerity that some people have money to burn. Guess you must be a plasterer
Yep plus time spent providing quotes for people who don't bother to get back in touch. Time on evenings spent doing invoices etc.
People who comment on tradesmen prices are often clueless.

10/10; i'll give you that one I'm hearing lots of good things about ATAG boilers (know a few people that have had them installed). All Stainless steel internals and 10 years warranty as standard with options up to 14 years, ATAG iCon stainless steel heat exchanger – with its unique lifetime replacement guarantee.
Currently looking at Viessmann Boilers. Cost a little more than Baxi or Worcester Bosch but come with a 12 year warranty and seem to have very good reviews. A friend replaced his 11 year old Baxi with one and nearly halved his gas bills. Stainless Steel Heat Exchanger and Hydrogen ready
I have a Worcester Bosch 42CDI, fitted 9.5 years ago and its plastic parts have started to fail 1 by 1 over the last 3 years. Its a decent boiler but the longevity of all boilers nowadays is not great.
The boiler we are looking to replace it is an Ideal boiler. Ive got a couple of gas engineer/plumber friends who both recommend them, with 12 years warranty and a really well managed warranty issues process you cant go wrong.

We had an Ideal combi boiler installed a few years ago, it's been running well with no issues. As syla5 said, it came recommended by the gas engineer.

The boiler we just replaced was an Ideal. My dad was dying with cancer at the time so it was fitted free by the government. I was too young to be involved; she reckons it was serviced 3 times over 14 years. One time I screwed up re-pressurising and the thing almost exploded. Water was forced out of the seals.
Switched it off and on again and it was good for another 8 years
