My Burstner will be two years old in April and aware that my manufacturers warranty will expire at that time and that the on-going damp warranty will be invalidated if I don't have a "water ingress check" I enquired of my Dealer.
The Dealership tells me that I must have the water ingress check conducted by a Burstner dealer to maintain the warranty and that is not incorporated in the Habitation check (which I want done to discover any faults prior to expiry of warranty). The dealer wants £106.80 for the Water Ingress Check and an additional £320.40 for the Habitation Check. A total of £427.20 !!
Quotes from Independant suppliers quote between £100 & £140 for a Habitation check which will incorporate Water Ingress & Damp.
I also asked for a quote for fitting a roof fan in an existing roof light. They quote for labour £534. The independants highest quote is £250. Where do these dealers get their charges from and - who pays them ?
I'm just angry that the Manufacturer demands the Water check be carried out by the dealer whilst not laying down regulated charges.
Any idea's out there?
