I need a quallified plumber to answer?

I am a retired builder and we needed the boiler serviced we called someone in the local paper we

did have a problem with it losing pressure when on the central heating a problem with the expansion

tank i understand (there are no leaks) i have hardly any knowledge of plumbing (not my field) i saw

the last plumber blow smething up with a foot pump and explained to this plumber he didn't seem to

understand what i meant the boiler is a Baxi Combi instant 80e & 105e he said they shouldn't have

anything you blow up i gave him the service book i have he eventually found it it was down he proceeded to blow it up and released water from it. He then proceeded with the service and found

a problem setting the gas valve the pressure wouldn't regulate down this meant a new valve he

finished the servive and said he would fit the valve in a couple of days the bill about £225 he said

he would switch the central heating off and leave us with just the hot water we have hardly even heard

the boiler boiler before but since he left when we turn on a hot tap there is a loud vibrating noise the

boiler is in the loft we are worried and try not to use it i admit even after all these years i don't know what to think i don't know enough to think bad of him

Update:

This is supposed to be a quallified engineer and £225 is not cheapskating for a service on a 7 year old

boiler with maybe more to follow and i agree i do not have a masters in english but i am asking for

help not writing a book and i hope if you are asking for help sometime you get the same awful reply

some people said some stupid things to me in my trade but i understood i know they don't

    Rather than pick any so called engineer, in view of your description it may be best to seek advice from the manufacturer direct. they may point you to one of their registered engineers.

    May be a bit costly, but with gas you don't often get a second chance.

    First you need a few lessons in English my friend,then perhaps you could explain yourself properly! Then stop trying to cheapskate, and get a proper qualified competent central heating engineer, NOT, an incompetent plumber!
