I have a insurance job to try and rescue a poorly installed quad shower the customer wants to save the tiling if possible and has a few spare so fingers crossed it may work , the loss adjuster allowed em £1500 that will just about cover materials. Kop

Had a customer on the phone to me today, I couldn't get to fix their worcester se oil combi due to the mother in law dying.
They got somebody else in, heating was fine, no hot water.

So they've been charged £765.00 for pump, diverter head, diverter body and 5 visits.

After first visit they changed head, hot water worked, no heating but only found out after they went.

Second visit was told it was an air lock. Still no heating.

Third visit, fitted a new pump. Still no heating.

Fourth visit new diverter body. Heating and hot water worked for 24hrs.

Fifth visit, airlock and high limit tripped.

The total bill included the 5 visits at £65 a pop.

They asked what I thought about it.

I said for one thing, I need to up my prices and two they didn't have a clue.

Big company round my way as well.

Nice easy kitchen tap replacement until that decided it didn’t want to be on the pipe no more due to not being soldered and being in an l unit in the corner ffs

Message over the weekend, old oil Beta not working, no power to it.
Gets there this afternoon, fuse spur OK, power at timer and pump runs.
Boiler as dead as a fart.
Incoming power cable goes through case and round back of boiler, grabs cable and gently pull.
Hey presto end of cable not wired in anywhere. (Bearing in mind I fitted a new motor on the burner two weeks before Christmas and it was all good when I left).
Cable not pulled out as all in good condition and ready to be wired back in.

Nobody had touched it, according to customer.

But it didn't unwire itself.

Strange.

I went on a course years ago, and the only thing that stuck with me was 'The general public are liars and never believe what they tell you'. Mr invisible must have removed it.
