It's frightening what people will do to save a few quid. Unfortunately as long as there are engineers out there that are willing to cut corners, work will always be lost.

The thing is when people use pillocks like these, is that there are bound to be more faults inside the property that you can't see. But you get what you pay for and these customers will only be forking out again for a new boiler years before they should do.

Gutted for you mate. But in my experience these firms that do everything, promise the earth and very rarely deliver. I've worked for a firm like that and they just don't have the time to concentrate in just one area then they end up failing.

If a firm like yourself, who just does the plumbing and heating maintenance, has contracts like that you can focus your efforts solely on what you know.

These places that use these "all singing, all dancing" firms eventually realise that its better to have different firms doing different jobs, it may be more expensive for them, but atleast the job gets done right.

I'm glad it's not just me who has a look to see iff it's been done, and how well. It's very easy to wind yourself up.
