Megaflow and boiler help

Can anyone recommend someone who can service both our Megaflow tank and out Vaillant boiler? When our megaflow was first installed the pressure was amazing but now it is terrible; 25 minutes to run a bath and no shower if a toilet had been flushed. Does anyone else have pressure problems?Thanks in advance.

That's one of the good things about this excellent neighbourhood forum, one gets sound advice from established posters regarding useful local traders and businesses. I've had useful advice in the past.

Glad that you got it sorted Maggi.

Hi Nigel, if anyone wants to know Heywood Heating are ace. Solved the problem, knew what they were talking about; great service and reasonably price. Would definitely recommend!

Maggie,  Just received message from Roy Clements. He does do unvented cylinders specializing in Valient.  So, I wonder where the info came from that he doesn't.  Interesting.  So another option for pricing if you need it.

Excellent.

That's a surprise.  I wonder why.  I just sent him a text asking about it.

Thanks Colin but apparently Connect don 't do unvented cylinders.

Maggi Howells ● 4281d

Thanks Charles. Yes found him but he doesn't deal with unvented cylinders.

Maggi Howells ● 4281d

On my Landlord Gas Safety Record, he has written 114384.

Charles Campbell ● 4281d

Thanks but they don't do unvented cylinders.

Maggi Howells ● 4281d

Hi can't find Roy on the gas safe site. What's his registration number?

Maggi Howells ● 4281d

Karl Ferndandez of Connect Heating 07957 868166Sure he'd be fine on mega flow but best ask -- I'd say he's the absolute best I've come across for domestic boiler works after 26 years in the construction industry!!!

Colin Goodman ● 4281d

This family business can help you. They are really reliable and specialise in Vaillant applianceshttp://www.nicolheating.co.uk

A bit like the how long is a piece of string question Gerry. Some say as low as seven years others say fifteen- twenty. I guess the average is somewhere in the middle. the key thing is to ensure parts availability by buying from a reputable manufacturer. I've had Potterton boilers for years and never once had a problem with parts supply.

Nigel Brooks ● 4282d

Btw, what's the average life of a domestic condensing boiler, which has been regularly serviced and has had average domestic use.

Gerry Tan ● 4282d

Might try Roy Clements (gas safe registered) and a Valient registered installer at 07831867532.

Charles Campbell ● 4283d

Sorry.

Nigel Brooks ● 4284d

Thanks Nigel but unfortunately he doesn't do unvented cylinders.
