Something you said earlier just leapt out at me.

I didnt get anything signed. Ive never use contracts on private work.

I take it you've got your own gas registration and insurances? And that you declare this work?

This could be something he'd have you over a barrel over.....

phone him from outside his home say you're coming round in half an hour, give it five minutes and knock the door unless of course he's not in lol

When you register the boiler, get the cert sent to your address and then only pass it on when you have payment. I would give him benefit of the doubt and give him a couple of weeks. If you go in too heavy you wont get anything.

The benefits of oil boilers having an external fire valve. No pay and somehow the firevalve trips and a call that the boiler isnt working. A quick no problem, be there at some point and oh by the way whilst im there you can pay me and oh by the way its an extra 50 for coming to look at the boiler

Next time
1) get deposit and signed estimate/quote
2) get an amount paid when boiler on site / first day
3) signed doc saying payment on completion
