Hello
I have had CH fiited by fitters giving out an invalid Gas Safe number.
I have paid them and am having little response from them now. His wife has just told me he will call me soon.
The boiler springs into action when the cold water taps are used. Immediately after running only a cold tap (no hot or heating) the boiler makes a noise similar to when I run the hot water tap. I understand this should not happen.
There are pipes proud of concrete. Their concrete is shy of the floor. I could level. This would leave the pipes approx 4 mm below floor surface (in kitchen). I understand this is not regualtion depth.
Just now I checked his gas safe number and it is invalid.
Now, I am wondering how best to deal with this.
Obviously if he cannot provide me with a valid number I will report him to gas safe. I will have to get a gas safe registered fitter to check and correct the work.
I hope I can take legal action to recover some of the money I paid the fitter. He was very cheap (I know this was short sighted of me). Does anyone have any pointers how best to do this. I have only a website, a land line number and mobile for these fitters. Noone else except me saw them in my flat.
It gets worse. I paid these fitters using my debit card. Coincidentally 2 days later my account was cleaned out by fraudulent transactions using these card details and the bank are refusing to cover this so I have no money for my mortgage or to finish my flat. This is another story but ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
Any advice on how to proceed would be appreciated.
Thanks
Phil
