Simon Western was servicing a boiler and found the chimney/ flue not adequately supported in the loft, and the chimney/flue joint to the terminal not secured correctly. The appliance was made safe.

Dave Webster found rainwater ingress into the boiler due to the leaky guttering above the chimney/flue terminal. Rather than replacing the guttering, the customer had decided to silicone a toilet pan connector over the flue. Dave made safe.

William Wiltshire was walking past these meter boxes when he noticed the open-ended gas pipe. He contacted the gas emergency provider, which made safe and reported under RIDDOR because both meters were live and uncapped.

Bryan Clark attended a smell of gas in a school kitchen. The tightness test indicated there was a large gas escape at ground level. When Ryan disconnected the steel union joint, the pipe coming out of the floor came away in his hand. Bryan made safe by re-routing the pipework above ground level, making all undergound pipework redundant.
