Hi
I am a tenant needing advice on boiler/heating issues with my landlord.
British gas came to service my boiler as it had stopped working they said as over 25 years old and the parts were no longer available my landlord should replace.
He has decided to repair it himself (bg said this would void my policy) if not completed by a gas register engineer.
My landlord said he is a trained plumber but not gas safe registered and the work he will be doing does not involve touching the gas or boiler.
he will be doing a power flush
putting on new radiator valves
and an external timer switch as the one on the boiler does not work.
please could someone confirm if he can do the work himself as he says they are wrong and only saying this to get money out of him or if bg are right in saying only a gas registered engineer should complete the works listed.
thanks
