Update. Ive had no contact from landlord since sunday wont answer my calls or text. Ive rang him off ofher numbers somebody else answered fobbed me off saying hed ring me back but didnt. Does anybody know the position on gaining access to remove boiler if there is a tenant living in there or not.

I'd get your solicitor to send him a letter with your invoice attached

You can't remove the boiler. That would constitute you committing a criminal offence.

why would i be committing a criminal offence if i own the boiler

 

[got_any03]

i think the address i was given for the landlord part of the cp12 he doesnt live there.

 

[got_any03]

As ive been round 4 times and theres nobody answering the door and his vans not there

 

[got_any03]

how can i be committing an offense if i own the boiler

 

[hammers4spanner]

Your removing it from someone else's property your snookered son

start money claims if i was you

Or option b expanding foam down flue

Or option 3 get in rip it out and get out quickly. Fastest option is to not isolate the supply's.

Have you got any emails & texts & other communication from him? Keep all this & get it all in print.
He asked you to do the job & was there for a while as you worked. The labourer would be a witness.
I would suspect the Small Claims court would look favourably on you. He has not paid you any money so far & he would have to alledge that there was faulty workmanship- which he would have to prove in court. A contract can be verbal. It simply requires an agreed job at an agreed reward. Only real problem with a verbal contract is proving it. Did anyone witness you giving a price etc?
Try getting the landlord to reply to your texts & he might say the wrong thing & hang himself.
Small claims is a straightforward process

Was thinking of blocking the condense to be honest
