About Me

My photo
At the moment I am caring full time for a family member and when the time comes I will be selling up and living on a narrowboat.I enjoy reading,especially about those living on narrowboats and their daily lives.The tug Nb Resolute in the above picture is NOT mine but is owned by Dave Moore and is something I would aspire to own one day although I am going to look at many boats before I make a decision on the style and interior.Tugs are looking good at the moment but have yet to look around one. My interest in narrowboats started some 47 years ago. As a lad I cycled from Luton to bridge 111 on the G.U.by the Globe to fish and watch the Morton and Clayton boats go by,full of coal with a family on board and always wondered how they kept their balance on the planks that ran above the coal and why the the dogs didnt jump in the canal.That fascination has stayed with me so when I am able I will be there on my narrowboat joining in the great community of boat owners.

Central Heating Installation

The water heater in the bathroom finally stopped working so it was time to catch up with the romans and get central heating installed. After much research on the internet and getting some quotes from heating engineers it was decided to give the job to http://www.flamegas.co.uk/index.php . after reading about this company on checkatrade..  http://www.checkatrade.com/Search/?cat=10&hiddenIsCap=&location=Leighton+Buzzard&postcode= 

I was impressed by the reports by satisfied customers, and the skill base of the employees. I had got a quote from British Gas but this took a month to be presented where as Flamegas took one day and was very reasonable being £2000 cheaper than B.G.  I was not disappointed in the results.

They had to install seven radiators, remove an old gas water heater from the bathroom and two gas wall heaters in the bedrooms, make good the holes left in the walls and connect up the water and boiler to the existing bath/shower and wash basin.They also painted the outside walls where the heaters were removed and the flue exits.

It was good to see that in these days of austerity they employ an apprentice who was brilliant at installing the boiler.The workmanship in cutting a hole in the brickwork for the flue and condensate was good. As you will see in the following photographs they had to cut through an existing grill without damaging the pebble dash as has happened in other properties in our area. All this was completed in THREE DAYS and it all worked perfectly. A great job done and would recommend them without a doubt.

Heating runs in the floor before insulation was put under the pipes.

So if you need any plumbing done in the  Beds, Bucks, Herts, Aylesbury, Leighton Buzzard, Milton Keynes, Hemel Hempstead, Dunstable, Luton,Tring,etc of the UK have a look at this company, I am a happy customer.
