| 2 | If not and he has to return when he does have one, that’s more travelling time…. | £275 |
“Labour” at £175 a day (tradesman) £100 (labourer), includes incidental fixings etc. and tipping charges. “Materials” if mentioned, are larger things (a boiler) and stuff only you can choose (tiles etc). Also VAT must be added all round.
Information on Replacing a PCB
It probably won’t surprise you to know that the heating engineers who replace printed circuit boards on boilers, don’t know a thing about them, other than they are very delicate, make the boiler work again and cost about £150.
Usually there are 2 PCBs on your boiler, one for the functions and one for the ignition process. When one fails, no one even considers fixing it (though if you have a high forehead you probably think it’s child’s play). It just gets changed and your bank balance suffers.
