Hi there just a note to get a bit of feedback really. Myself and a friend moved into a rented property a couple of months ago. Before we moved in a new boiler had to be fitted which it duly was.
However the short version of the story is that we found out that the work had been carried out by someone who wasn't CORGI certified. We got an engineer round to check the installation and he found two gas leaks where washers hadn't been put on pipes and a few infringements on the location of ventilation... we were not happy bunnies as you can imagine. Work has now been done to correct these defects.
Saying that the boiler has now lost pressure twice in the last two months both times over night. The landlady's builder has said just to top it up with the valve and it'll be fine but if it's done it twice in two months doesn't this imply that there is a leak in the heating system somewhere? or is it just the boiler settling in again?? What do you recommend as the best course of action to take?
Oh the boiler is a Vizo Condensing Combi Boiler... think the VIZO24 but I'm not at home at the moment so can't check.... Either way it's basically the cheapest one they could find in the B&Q down the road.
