as there was a reported smell of gas there can be NO PERMISSABLE DROP when he does a TT so even if he now says there is 1mb drop but no smell so it is OK chase him, haha they will be there for days checking over the pipework, but if your wee maw is paying her dosh get everything checked over fully and properly, and dont take any snash, TBH the first guy was bang on, as others have said he was prob a TOFO, but he should have either issued a warning notice or cause for concern, the second guy fiddled with it, mmmhhhh not too impressed, it is possible that a thermo electric valve fails and allows gas to pass, and if you turn it on/off a few times it reseats, but i cant see how you would smell tat from inside as it is room sealed, (have had a few like this where the punter reports a smell of gas from outside via the flue as it is passing to outside, i would ask for a full written report on what the prob was, cause if you smelled gas it had to be leaking inside the property so he either fixes it or caps it and gets the repair done the next day, im not impressed with him fiddling with it then arranging a repair, it is either fixed on first visit or it isnt, there is no such thing as temp gas work,

the first guy caped it off and the 2nd guy said the nut on the gas valve needed tighting up and that mite be the problem??????????
and said he will have some one out just too check it over in the morn ?????????
the 3rd guy came and said it looks to be ok now but for the sake of some new seals/ect hell order them and fit all new ones
the guy was old (sorry) he had been in the gas trade for some tme.
and was old school he said if it go's agen most probs thall fit a new boiler ??????????
the gas man said the icos are ****

Agree with Kirkgas - with regard to what the gas man said about the icos, i don't think they are even that good !

The second engineer attending must have known if he had fixed the leak or not! Sounds a bit suspect to me, if only BG did tightness tests on their services this might have been picked up earlier.
