When I bought the house in 1994 I got HBC to have a look at the boiler and they said it was just about OK but unrepairable if it went wrong.
When UU were replacing the gas pipes in the area last summer they had to disconnect the houses and looking at the boiler they would not reconnect the supply to my house. I was quite pleased as I had been wanting to put in the new heating for some time but my relative was adamant and as she has a heart condition I didn't want anything to upset her.
I have to say that Derekgas and his company were very thoughtful and caring in the way they worked round my relative with the least disturbance they could. And she was very pleased with the result.
