We've had this check booked a few weeks, trying to be good landlords and getting everything done correctly. Lesson learned: get these checks done in the summer!
It had to be this week, -11 and a bad forecast for at least the next 7 days.
Here's the message we got from the tenant:
"he said who ever installed the boiler in the first place did a poor job as he said the gas pipework run in 15mm from boiler should be 22mm instead he was therefore unable to take a analyser reading as the flue is fitted incorrectly plus the seal on the flue was not tight and the flue gases are mixing with the air inlets.
The flue is also leaking water from outside and the meter box is not sealed so therefore he has disconnected from the fuel supply as he has a warning label on there it is unsafe for us to use."
The boiler is 3 years old. It's been checked by British Gas, an independent plumber and a plumber contracted by an insurance company last year, none of whom picked any of this up.
Do we have to replace the 15mm pipe?
Any advice gratefully received.
Thanks
