    brand new boiler, rads, all pipework..very very slow to warm rads

    I’ve got a photo of the jungle vine mess that was in that pipe cupboard before tidied to how it looks now. Gas guy used proper crimp fittings non tamper. I think his work is good. He done all the copper and left the rest for plumber to connect too. Quite depressing
