[Last Plumber]

New pump, boiler and 3 port valve fitted 8 months ago.
Just need someone to recommend a reliable plumber in my area who power flushes.

Did they not flush the system prior to installation of the new Boiler the?
If not, what was the reason?

" Was told a power flush was not needed and they added cleaner and next day came for about 30min in attic with hose, said it was clean."

Have they completed the Benchmark? Was it a big firm of chancers?

I have no idea about benchmark. Green Deal Contracts. Under the government free boiler. They didn't fit a magnaclean, which they said would be fitted. They say it didn't need power flush. Trying to get money back for the magnaclean I've had to buy.

I was always under the impression that each boiler company can only give warranty when the filter, scale reducer and a power flush prior o the boiler installation has been done. However, I would call the engineers back as it's less then a year and should be still under labour warranty. Thats cutting corners, not installing a filter neither a scale reducer even though promising you mutual that they would. Did you try getting them back out to you ? Perhaps you should ask them to come back and install the filter and do the powerflush as any boiler manufacturer will recommend that prior to the installation.

Yes the boiler manufacture said it should have been power flushed. But Green Deal said that a flush and cleaner were fine. They are not contacting me back. I'm going to citizen advice.

These government schemes are great for the cowboys; they get to fleece both the customer and the tax-payers.

My guess is that once getting someone competent to make good all the sub-standard work is added into the equation they don't do much towards saving the planet either.
