It was seeing a couple of em looking at the boiler in my old place, telling me they couldn't fix it, that encouraged me to have a go myself.
They'd have sold me a new boiler, I fixed it for the price of a few phone calls to Italy (to get the parts they said I'd never be able to get) and the price of a couple of temp cut out switches and a pilot light capillary.
There's good gas fitters out there and many do a great job, but there's also a shower of useless bastards I wouldn't want touching my boiler thanks.
I have limited knowledge of gas boilers, but if it breaks down and I can fix it, I fix it.
