He came to fix a problem with the water going hot and cold, and when he left 2 days later the boiler no longer worked. He also managed to cause water damage to our house because he left without closing up the system and failed to mention that when we turned the tap on water would spurt out the boiler.
Take him to court: Not only did he not do his job, he caused extra damage to your property. Accidents are one thing, but this is sheer negligence. Good luck.
This guy does not know what he is talking about. A boiler should be good for at least 7 years and sometime even longer.Tell him you want to claim on his Insurance ( Public Liability) for the water damage he caused you. I would think tht from what you have said he is not competent in fixing boilers. The water going hot and cold could be due to a Thermistor which is located on the flow pipe of the boiler, inside. Another fault can be a faulty Boiler thermostat. Some boilers also activate the hot water by a pressure swithch that has a rubber diagpram, and when the boiler swith is pressed, it presses the diaphram which makes contact with a Micro switch and lightds the main burner. In that case it could be a worn diphram that is the problem.
