I will tell everyone I know about her, but will not leave official feedback as she was aggressive with me when I challenged her about her not having fixed it. I know it's cowardly, but she really was a nasty piece of work and she knows where I live.

Hi everyone! Well it's finally been fixed. Hubbie found a guy through check-a-trade who carefully looked at everything and found that some wires had melted onto the top of the heat exchanger. It is now fixed. This engineer bumped into the plumber who had changed the valve and not fixed the...

Excellent advice. I will post an update when it's all resolved - here's hoping that's sooner rather than later. Your advice is greatly appreciated! Have a great Christmas everyone. ☃️

Hi, I don't know the answer to the question, I'm afraid. I did unplug everything on that circuit and just tried boiler and it tripped.

My hubbie has managed to do the manual override thing and at least some of my radiators are getting hot! :) Hurray! We will be warm this Christmas! We will try to find someone to run the tests and sort it out properly in the New Year. Thanks to you all for help and advice, I will post in the New...
