Sorry - that just sounds like a load of work. They will not just give you a combi, they will give it to plumber to install. Even removing new, but now a second hand boiler isn't worth much. You will pay the plumber more than you will get for it.

 

Just take the UVC they offer and move on with your life.

Baxi delivered the boiler to me personally on a pallet Friday. I was also shocked by this! A manufacturer supplying an end customer with a product that they have refused to fund to fit, it's a little unseemly to say the least but I have no intention of fitting it myself. It's not second hand, has all paperwork with it and my (or indeed any plumber) can activate the 10 year guarantee once installed. My own plumber does a lot of work for builders and reckons he can sell it on my behalf. Of course it will be less than book price but be mutually beneficial.

That sounds exactly like what my Megaflo is doing right now!

Email Trevor from Cylinders2go and mention my username and the forum for a trade price on a Telford cylinder  

Just done this @Nickfromwales for a 200L UVC - thanks again (I got a 500L from Trevor 8 years ago!).

You were lucky. I tried that 3 years ago, but no discount.  Wasn't a great experience to be honest, and looks like i need need to go back to them as one of the cylinders appears to be leaking...
