Then the gas engineer that fixed and serviced my gas fire 6 months ago got back in text this evening and will try and do it late afternoon next week for £60.

Are they actually going to SERVICE it or just CHECK it?
A service would require a strip down of the boiler, the burner assembly and access to the heat exchanger to check for build up of debris.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..1 -
Just as an aside we had a valiant boiler in our previous house. The valiant engineer that came out to service and provide certification stripped the whole boiler down like a mechano set put it all back together over two cups of tea and very long chats and that was £99. That was what I call a service. Nice set of dirty fingerprints left on the boiler cupboard door for good measure.1

I presume service as i told engineer it was to protect warranty of new boiler. And he called it a service. Says online on some sites that a service takes about half hour.
Maybe Mstty maths earlier not too bad as over 10 years could have equaled 10 days off work and times 10 service cost.0
