Whilst I appreciate why you did this, I do feel very sorry for the incoming tenant!

All, thanks for all of your advice. I hope you don't think i'm ungrateful but i haven't checked this thread for a while after I took "The Novice"'s advice and contacted the plumber that fitted the boiler. Its now resolved but I though I should post the solution in case others have this same...
