Boiler repair man - please recommend

Yet another shout for John Powers 07977 909 339. My insurance company (Swinton) gave up trying to find someone 22 hours after my 'emergency' call about the boiler breaking down and 'authorised' me to find someone myself. Came on this list, saw the good references for John - he came within 2 hours, diagnosed the problem in minutes, made a temporary fix and ordered the part, which he came and fitted the next day. Good rates, nice man.

Peter Bennison came and replaced our (extremely) old boiler. A friend recommended him, and I would definitely recomend him too.


I called him 10 days ago about our worcester boiler, which a) needed servicing b) needed new parts. He researched the parts for us before he even saw the boiler, came round to give us a quote, and outlined all available options. We knew we had to replace the boiler before we'd contacted him, and with his honest attitude we thought him best man for the job.


On Monday Peter and 4 co-workers came to remove the old boiler, and replace it with a new combi boiler. They arrived at 8am and left at 4 having flushed and cleaned our entire system and adding thermostats to each radiator. Very efficient, honest snd helpful, hard working and considerate, a very good job well done.

Hi there, Was just reading through this thread and wanted to share this with you - I had a lot of trouble with my boiler when I first moved into my new house. As I was tight for money because of the move I decided to do some googling before calling out an engineer. Luckily I struck gold as I came across a series of videos on YouTube by a company called corgi homeplan, they are incredibly easy to follow and helped me a fix a problem that I may have had to pay ?100 or so to have an engineer come out and fix. This is the video that I used https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VK2Y_uFn56g but there are lots of others on there that might help you!

    • Some P13 drivers appear very risk averse. I live in Underhill and on that road drivers are forced to back away, often considerable distances, from buses to allow them to pass, even when the bus has an immediate space it could back into. The driver at the time said that buses 'weren't allowed to back'. So reports of cars 'blocking' P13s might mean simply that the car was legally parked but the road too narrow,or the bus driver not prepared to risk advancing. NB some P13 drivers are both skilled and courteous, but not all. 
    • I’ve experienced the same in Herne Hill. It’s definitely linked to where there are already marked bays, it prevents you from parking within approx 200-400 metres around the bay. Dulwich Village has quite a few bays, which probably explains why you’ve noticed it there and not elsewhere. 
    • They are quick enough to issue tickets why can they not tow it away. How many people waited at bus stops for no bus.
