Hi folks, I recently moved into council property, getting used to having someone else do the repairs. When I noticed the immersion heater was leaking, I phoned up repairs, who sent a man round to turn off the water and heating. The tank is splitting, the man told me. You'll be fitting a new tank, said I, thinking I'd better clear the decks for him when he returns. A week went by, then two weeks, every time I phone and ask when the immersion heater will be repaired I'm told they are waiting for parts. I find that to be strange, having lived in my house and taken care of the repairs, never had a problem getting spares for anything. A neighbour told me that a few people have said they are waiting for spare parts for their immersion heater. Is there a shortage of parts for immersion heaters? Moreover, I'm puzzled as a new tank won't be fitted, yet the present one is splitting. Thankfully, I joined this forum a few years ago, I'm truly grateful to have had people to turn to for advice, thank you folks. Now looking over the shoulders of maintenance people.
