Over recent months I’ve attended several properties in the Gateway Development in Leeds to give a second opinion or a quote to replace a water heater/boiler following a ‘free inspection’ that’s been carried out
There hasn’t been a SINGLE ONE yet where I would agree a replacement is needed.
This week I went to a flat in South to give an alternative quote to replace- they’d been told the cylinder was leaking and needed to be replaced. The first photo here shows that ‘leak’
It was fixed with a rubber washer costing a couple of pence. (There was also a failing safety valve which I changed)
I’m not one to bad mouth anyone- but I’d be concerned with anyone offering to carry out hundreds of inspections for free.
The second photo shows one of dozens of cylinders which have been dumped outside- this one appears to have had a leak through the dry pocket in the immersions (the brass things on the side which heat the water)
They’re not expensive
Now this customer might have decided to just replace it- I don’t know. But there’s been DOZENS
If you’re concerned- I’ll happily give a second opinion. I charge £89 Inc vat for an inspection/service with a digital record sent
Have a look at the top comment for another example this week…
