Plumbers of OcUK is this hard?

/Edit: The fault is: When i turn on the boiler - the CH will not turn off no matter the thermostat setting. The boiler is 10-11 years old (glow worm ultimate) Now i've spoken to another plumber and he states that because the boiler is so old, its not worth changing the filter. Is this the right diagnosis? as i think i can get the actuator for £45 and i can fit it myself. Thx in adv

I had a visit from british gas as our Central Heating wont switch off when it reaches the right temperature on the thermostat. The description of repair is as follows:

Drain system
install 28mm system filter
refil and inhibit.
Replace central heating actuator (i am pretty sure i can do this, its just wiring in a Sunvic 2port actuator) The part is about £45.

Is this really that time consuming or difficult as im being quoted pretty much £250

Thanks

It's all external to the boiler and doesn't involve gas work, so I don't see why it'd need to be done by someone Corgi registered

£250 sounds about right for the quote from BG. Reckon it'd be around £220 via an indy.

Hi there,

it seems you are a plumber or in the trade, I've spoken to another plumbing place to get an idea of the cost of the fault.

Basically. When i turn my heating on, the CH never turns itself off (despite the thermostat setting. Now my boiler is 10-11 years old. A glow worm ultimate. And they have said that since the boiler is so old it is not really worth changing the filter. And that all i need is Actuator. Does this sound about right to you?

I am pretty confident I can wire in an Actuator (i've taken it off and looked at the part number. And I am thinking of doing it myself as the part is only £45 online. Saving myself £150+ could go a long way this xmas

all this gas safe talk is getting confused... (i spoke to plumbers and also british gas)

essentially the part that is failed is pretty much plug n play and regulates a water valve. No gas involved its upstairs. But my question regarding if i need to change the filter stands

Thx for looking!
