We had a British Gas Engineer decommission boiler as we had a small gas leak on one of the valves. My wife and 2 girls were home alone so called Plumbingforce for an emergency call out as were left without heating or hot water. The engineer arrived a day later than they were told. He carried out a gas leak test on the boiler but couldn't find a leak so put it back in commission without actually firing up the boiler to check it worked. My wife signed the paperwork, being a trustworthy sort but when she turned a tap on after he'd left.....no hot water and the boiler didn't fire. I arrived home around 9pm the same evening as was flabbergasted to find that the reason the chap couldn't find a leak was because the British Gas had isolated the gas going to the boiler and the engineer hadn't opened the valve, hence no leak. When I called, they were very rude, denied any blame. This was at the start of Feb, I've had one email on the 14th Feb 2017 (replied the next day) asking for details of the Engineer form a local company who came out and replaced the valve for half the price in half the time. I've emailed politely on 6 other occasions and had one further reply to say it's being looked into on the 12th April 2017...still no reply. We all make mistakes but this was involving gas and my family and it's negligence that they should admit to and just get this resolved. It's time now to pass to the HSE to investigate as don't want this to happen to any other individual or family.
