Hi so basically I had a brand new gas cooker installed in my new property 7th Jan 2023 by a gas safety registered engineer, come April time (can't remember exact date) my boiler (unrelated to this I think) broke down so had no gas over the weekend until parts was ordered by my landlord (Housing association) so I did a creep test on my gas meter to see if there was any issues with the gas in the property as my gas bill each month is nearly £300 since moving here (3 bed semi detached house) my meter reading was going up even though I hadn't used any gas appliances ,so I rang my energy supplier who said call cadent it's a gas leak (couldn't smell a thing) turns out there was a leak at my meter and one on my cooker ,they cut the supply of at the property and I now had to pay someone to fix this leak so my landlord could fix the boiler ,because of this gas safety can't investigate his work, the guy I got out to fix the leak was also gas safety registered and said there was hardly any ptfe or paste which caused the leak which couldn't of been caused by me? The guy who originally installed it is having none of it, won't refund me or pay for the work I've had to pay for to fix it or admit he's at fault ,he seems to think I've cause the leak, can I go to a solicitor about this as this isn't fair that he's still allowed to carry on working knowing what he did ,thanks
