Hi vwbeetle
Can you say which part of the country you are in, and we'll see if any local companies volunteer to have a look for you.
We 'inherited' an evacuated tube system when we moved into our house a few years ago. We had no manual or installer installation information so think it may have been a DIY enterprise by the previous homeowner. Now the panel has developed a problem, we cannot find any company willing or able to service it - every one that has been contacted says they only service those they have installed. Unfortunately this leaves us with a non-functioning panel.

A standard service would be £180 plus VAT

What would you say would be a typical cost for such a service??
