Exactly, if he had of made a sensible suggestion and taken into consideration the electric fuse spare was out, and the fact it's the only gas appliance in the property and a gas mains shut was suffice I would have listened.
Why would you instantly fear the worse when the fronts off ?. If I explained to him the situation then why not believe me rather than fear the worse as though I've had it stripped down on the kitchen table, rebuilt it, and just forgot to put the cover on.
Like I said, good old common sense and read a situation goes a long way.
What the gas engineer who fixed it said, he was OTT, he capped off the boiler and the gas mains. The cheeky tw#t i kid you not walked passed me in 5he living room heading for the kitchen to disconnect the oven.
I said what tf you doing m8 ? He explained. I said you'll have a job its electric. I then explained only the boilers gas which he replied , that's saved me a job.
So all in all he condemned a boiler yes condemned it because the front was off while it was disconnected and made no attempt to diagnose it. It took my gas engineer 30, minutes to check it, repair the leaking condenser hose, reconnect gas, jobs done.
I know the crack and would never attempt a repair on a gas appliance and I'm not stupid enough to run it with the cover off.
Ive gone over the small print and If we follow the rules and terms of that policy you would never get a repair.
They even tried to make me carry on paying the monthly payments because an engineer had made a call out. Payments for a so called non working boiler they condemned, you honestly couldn't make it up.
Infact at the beginning they phoned me about the free boiler service. They said I have to pay 8 months premiums up front before theyll service it.
If we followed H&S to the letter we'd all be in a f""kin Zorb 24/7. Sometimes a little bit of common sense goes a long way.
Anyway, lovely and warm in here
