Expansion Valve on Boiler

Had a quote from N Power today. They have done their 90 day inspection and a fault was found. Sadly we are not covered on our policy as it is classed as "pre existing".

Possible blockage in pipe to expansion vessel or vessel damaged.
Check blockage £90
Fit external Expansion Valve & 1 hr Labour £252.97

    They are having a laugh aren't they!?!

    Get a local guy in to quote and carry out the work - I bet you may actually find that the work does not even need doing . ..

    These 'maintenance contracts' aren't worth the paper they are written on!

    Exactly what Bg do as well . . .
    I was going to put the name of my plumbing business here so you know what I do should I give out any advice plumbing wise - however apparently I cant do that - go figure!!!!!

    TBH, the one we had with BG at our old property was great. (as long as there are no pre existing faults)

    We have a local company that does a contract, it's £135 a year. Rads/Boiler all parts & labour.
    They have quoted £130 to do the work:)
