Was fitting an external oil combi. Was all done and dusted for about 1.30. Boiler had gone off at the pub just up the road. They had problems before with loss of pressure and filling loop so thought it was probably sort pressure and reset high limit. Nope. 3 hours later still no go. No oil to boiler, up on first floor, gok tiger loop, tank about 20m away across car park. Looked like they had run out of oil, but insisted the hadn't. Checked tank iso, filter, non return valve and all fittings. Nothing. Just couldn't get oil to the burner.
Ran like a charm from a can but nothing up the oil line.
Went back yesterday with an extra pair of hands as was going to run a new oil line.
New non return valve and oil to halfway point of existing line. Champion.
Up on the flat roof and notice some black electrical tap round oil line just as it enters the building.
Unwraps the tape to find that as they had cut a new channel for the lead flashing they had all but cut right through the oil line.
Rather than put up their hands and pay for a half hour repair job they have a bill for 7 man hours and various bits and pieces.
T@ssers.
Rant over, back to my bathroom.
