British Gas came to my rescue fixing the boiler the next day. They really are my heroes.
Great service, faulty boiler reported and fixed the same day. Back up and running - happy family with heating and hot water back on!
Faulty boiler reported at noon, fixed by 3pm! And engineer travelled 30 miles to do so. Top work as usual.
