Darren Gough was called out after recent roofing work: the roofer had re-connected the chimney/flue on a warm air heater using a sheet of rubber to join two sections of flue and then wrapped it in parcel tape. Darren made safe until the chimney/flue could be repaired.

Duncan Gordon attended a water leak at a boiler and found someone had applied silicon to the sump cover rather than using the appropriate sump cover seal. The correct seal has now been fitted.

Murat Karakas found a water isolation valve used on the gas supply to a hob. He made safe and fitted the correct gas isolation valve.

We may share some of your pictures on social media, so remember to include your contact details so we can tag you (or let us know if you’d rather we didn’t).

George Cox was quoting for a new boiler when the customer asked him to check a pipe in the lounge that was covered with bubble wrap, masking an open-ended gas pipe. The pipework has been made safe.

Scott Graham was asked to re-light the pilot on a back boiler unit after the gas mains in the street had been renewed. The BBU was badly corroded and had not been serviced in several years: a new boiler has now been installed.
