Good/cheaper altenatives to BritishGas one off boiler repair?

Hi

I had my boiler fixed by British Gas for one-off fee. The bill came to £200!!! The fees was fixed including parts and labour.

Are there any good + cheaper alternatives to get the boiler fixed if I ever have problems again?

Thanks in advance.

I was in a similar situation a few months ago. After reading British Gas small print I opted for the cheaper of three free quotes from local tradesmen. You could sign up a gas plan for the future for a monthly fee.

Since you didn't say what the fault was and what was replaced, how can we know if £200 was a good deal or not?
As above, a local independent GSR RGI may be the cheaper option.

So the repair took the engineer between 30 mins and 2 hours, middle tier fixed price breakdown. You would have been pre-warned if it was likely to take over 30 mins. Was a part fitted?

Yes a part was fitted.

Basically I'm after a comparison between the major companies so next time a problem happens I know which company is cheaper.

So like what do N-Power. EON etc charge please.

Just a quick heads up. We're no longer involved with boiler repairs and central heating care. We pulled out of this about a year ago.

Hope this saves you a bit of time if you were thinking of contacting us.
