Oil Guru required

Just been told my boiler has a small leak which cant be mended, it has less than 12 months to "live". Standard price is about £2000 for a new one and £1000 for commissioning.
Anybody know of a discount place for them. David.

Well don't forget, if its knackered then you need to fit a condensing type AND get a Building Regs certificate signed these days

Plenty of places you can buy trade but you'll need a proper fitter.

That's it... Cheer me up.

I knew about the condensing bit but forgot about B. Regs. Thanks for that, need to bear that in mind. David.

Depends if you are competent enough to install yourself.....if so, you could do it and get it inspected but a lot of engineers don't like doing that since it deprives them of income. And of course you need one to connect it strictly speaking.

Condensing aren't that much more difficult once you get your head around them, but if you ever move house it can be a pain not having a BR cert (usually in the back of the installation instructions).

But like I say, plenty of trade plumbing suppliers that can sell you what you want. Even Wickes do gas ones, not oil though AFAIK.
