Hi,
My boiler has been playing up for a while and fibally went pop last night. Need a new one! Can anyone recommend brands and installers (national? or local companies?) How much can i expect to pay to have combi boiler installed suitable for small 3 bed semi?

Any advice much appreciated.
Thanks

It would help people to give you advice if they knew where in the UK you were based.

Get several quotes from local corgi approved gas fitters
You can find a local installer by putting you post code in here

Better still if you have a friend who can recommend someone.

from my vast plumbing knowledge....[good plumber's number on speed dial!:D)...vaillant boilers are well recommended.

If your looking specifically at boiler makes then Vaillant and Worcester Bosch are well respected.

I would also consider Alpha as the guarentee is longer than the above and they are also well thought of by a few of the pro plumbers on this board.

The two most respected makes of boiler seem to be Worcester Bosch and Vaillant.

We had a Worcester Bosch installed April 2005 and it's been perfect. If you go to the Worcester Bosch web site you can use their Find An Installer tool which will search for a locally trained and approved WB installer in your area. We did and the installer was friendly, very reasonably priced and did a fantastic job.
