Just had a bad leak on my combi boiler (upstairs cubbyhole) and my boiler cover voided because we turned the gas and electric off first and took front off to remove the access water in the boiler.
We left the front off to air it with both gas and electric to it off.
The reason it wasnt spotted was theres towelsat the back in the cupboard which acted like a giant sponge.
A friend called and said by the looks of it it's been leaking a while and theres alot of water and rust hence the reason the company used a cop out not to repair.
So now I'm waiting on a gas engineer to take a look and see if the leak and rust has caused non repairable damage. Apparently the cause is a rotten condenser hose.
If its repairable fine but we might be looking for new. My questions are:
Are there any deals knocking about on combi's fitted possibly with cover ?.
I'm hoping it's not the case but we've been without hot water and heating for 5 days so I better get my finger out and this jacket and bob hat off !!.
