We could do with a new combi boiler and the prices at BOXT seen very good indeed. Anyone used them?

Used them 3 times for rental properties. No complaints at all. Really, really impressed and would recommend them all day long. I believe WB own a stake of them now hence most of the boilers are supplied by them now.
That's great thanks a lot.

I did try and get a few quotes and local tradesman couldn't come close. Especially if you book the boiler repair in advance on Boxt you can choose a date in a week or two where its cheaper to install. Next day or next few days cost a bit more.
I think WB must supply the boilers to Boxt at a reduced rate than local fitters can source.
I think it may be.
I just checked out the BOXT site out of interest and their price is a bit more than my local bloke did mine for and I live in the South East.
Cheers,

Ah OK, thanks for that.
To help understand the pricing, we bought a WB boiler outright when we did the house extension (plumber friend installed it), from memory it was around the £500 including vertical flue.
(edit) Just found the trail of e-mails, boiler was £550 and flue was extra, memory loss etc....(this was 2 years ago).

When you look long into an abyss, the abyss looks long into you.........
our combi was condemned last week. Checked boxt and quote was 2850 Quote from local plumber 1800
Sounds pretty cheap!
It's roughly 50/50 parts and labour.
