Advice please on some plumbing work done.

I ended up going direct to the manufacturer (which I wanted to avoid thinking it would be very expensive). It took the engineer 20 minutes to fix it and he only charged me £35.
.

You meant the MANUFACTURER only charged you £35?! Frankly, I don't believe you. Do you actually mean that the engineer cancelled the job and back pocketed £35?

Maybe I wasn't clear enough. I called the manufacturer and they gave me the nearest authorised service agents which I called myself and yes he did charge me £35.

Not clear enough? You clearly said you went direct.

I have been called out several times to various electrical items not working, only to find that the 'fault' was due to piles of junk and other waste under the stairs falling against the consumer unit and switching off one or more circuits. .

And would that have happened if we had kept Down for ON for switches

And how many times have we been asked to change a circulating
pump hidden right under the floor or a three port valve under a floor
which has also had laminate laid on it
