    Anyone know what it should be?

    Some joker is offering to look at ours for a mere £100/hour.

    It's either the pump or the bearings that are going. (Awful
    grinding/screeching from the pump). I've done the bearings before but
    setting up the pump requires a pressure gauge. And it probably should
    have the gases analysed as well.

    My gas plumber charges £50 + VAT for an annual service, which is what they
    charge per hour. Plus he travels about 10 miles to get here from Brynmawr.
    They installed the boiler and I got their name from the WB website. Have
    you tried those listed in your area (most will service other makes)?

  5. Guy's a ****, is all I can say.
    Usually, it's more of a fixed price for a service, like something
    between £90 - 120, depending on where you are. Putting in a set of
    bearings (depending on the burner) shouldn't take more than 30mins for
    most common types.
    So, service and bearings might rush you up to 150ish, and probably a bit
    more for Lunnon.
