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!

    • I wonder where he could be deported to, Hungary the obvious candidate in Europe, perhaps he would get on well with Modi?   Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch and Reform UK leader Nigel Farage both said Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood should look at whether Abd El Fattah's citizenship could be revoked to enable his swift removal from the UK. Farage said in a letter to Mahmood: "It should go without saying that anyone who possesses racist and anti-British views such as those of [Mr Abd El Fattah] should not be allowed into the UK." So just racists views are ok Nige?
    • Always preferred Grace and Favour to the BMC, commented in the past on this and sadly long since gone   
    • If it's the same one I'm thinking of, it was a little further down the road towards LL, probably where the Fresh Flower Company is today. I'd forgotten all about it, with good reason. I think it disappeared before Blue Mountain opened and became a pizza place? I once bought a carton of milk from the deli and when I opened it, it was solid. I did get my money back though.
    • But when was it posted?! I haven't posted any this year. I can't bring myself to pay the exorbitant cost of the stamps, and at least I can sort of honestly blame it on illness. If I can't hand deliver them, I send e-cards. I know it's not the same, but it's very much easier. And as for the people who still send pages of closely handwritten letters .... very admirable in terms of the hours it must have taken them to write them,  but they remind me of those spoofs eg x has just passed all their many important exams with the highest marks possible, y has just walked round the world in a week, z has just become the first person ever to be knighted twice, we are about to fly off for our fifteenth exotic holiday this year ....... Or else (or sometimes and) they are full of who has had what illnesses and accidents and other catastrophes. Is this just my relatives and distant friends? Am I somehow attracting these reams of handwritten paper?
