I need some chemicals putting in my system which Derek can do for about £85!

Needless to say i'm booking Derek to do the job and will be ditching British Gas for the annual Service/Maintenance contract too, and signing up with Dereks firm, as thats cheaper too. On top of the cost savings, i know i'm getting good honest advice and service too rather than the mercenary tactics that British Gas employ! Thanks Again Derek, much appreciated.

My Father had a maintenance contract with BG and they tried it on with him too Taggy, needless to say they got told where to go, and how to do it, like walking in wet footsteps

Thank goodness there are still some honest trades people to put us on the right path.

Shame on you B.G.

Yep 4 years on and still using the same methods eh! When will these companies learn that ripping folk off aint a good long term policy, they are out on their ear from my point of view now!

Re: Cost of a Replacement Combi Boiler

Just watched Don't get done get Dom on the BBC, was taking British Gas to task over their maintenance contracts, I think it makes a big difference when someone rings them and says Hello this is Do manic Littlewood from the BBC, you can hear the panic on the other end of the phone, but at the fees they charge they should give a far better service than thy do, as it appears that 7 out of 10 maintenance contracts are with British Gas, maybe people would be better off looking closer to home and give the work to people like Derek

Re: Cost of a Replacement Combi Boiler

To put BG charges into perspective, if I want to compete with them on web clicks (adword etc), to come top in a search against them, in ANY related category, it costs around £7.00 PER CLICK, plus multiple channel radio and tv ads, there is far more goes into advertising for new business than looking after the existing custom. The customers pay more towards advertising for new business than anything else.

Yep i was watching that Jaysay...they should'nt have to be shamed into decent service, but unfortunately it seems big companies dont give a monkeys about loyalty these days...unless they think it might hit the bottom line...then they begrudgingly act! For that chap to be without his boiler for 5 months was shameful!
