Alot of engineers would just turn round and say that a boiler of that age with the price of the parts, the labour involved was beyond economic repair and recommended a new one, so fair play for fixing it 😀

@Plumbingbob 3 жыл бұрын

No paste police here. I’d rather have a bit of paste on than have a bloody weeping joint. I use jet blue plus on as many joints as I deem necessary. Another good job done. Hope you had a great Christmas and all the best for hopefully a better year for all of us.

I'm pretty confident the boiler should be good for the next five years plus. Im sure the customer would have compared the cost of a new boiler quote to the repair/fix cost.
