Boiler broke and radiators leaking/corroded

milligan0

HI everyone this is my first post and really need your help - My boiler which is 20 yrs old has finally gave in and requires replacing along with the leaky/rusty radiators. The problem is i have a good job but was made b/rupt a couple of years back and find it hard to get finance - what can i do as i need heating/hot water for myself and when the kids visit, but cannot afford to pay in full.
Thanks in advance

For now you could just use the Immersion Heater for hot water.
You have about three months before the heating season starts again, why not get some quotes for the work to be done whilst saving up, I guess your old boiler would qualify for the scrappage scheme.

The boiler scrappage scheme finished in March.

I would suggest speaking to the council. I don't know the ins and outs of it but one of my customers got a crisis loan to pay for a new cylinder and boiler controls.

Sorry, should have checked.
