Free Boilers - do I trust the plumber?

Hi I wondered if anyone could give me a simple reply.

My lovely old Mum's boiler is on its last legs and she's just been in touch her plumber.

The plumber has informed her that the boiler replacement scheme has just expired and that she would no longer be entitled to one. Does this sound right?

My Mum trusts him implicitly, I, however, don't trust him an inch.

What do you think, could this be right?

Cheers,

B

    is it because he is a plumber?
    Feudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..

    The free boilers are only cheap if they last and don't run up higher repair bills than a non-free one!
    Watch out for "other" costs, such as a requirement for an expensive system flush if a guarantee is required.
