No it all happened the weekend after the boiler was installed.

unless it was the f and e tank or he changed the ball valve in the cwsc tank not his fault
 
It's not his fault your cold water storage cistern had a dodgy overflow pipe. How on earth would he know that? It's like having a wheel bearing done then blaming the garage you got a puncture. It's not related
 
Post 9 Shaun?

so its only just leaked now ?????? i thought he was just asking now and it leaked back then , lol its getting complicated now :D
 
# 5 No the job was completed end of May 2009 and the leak happened first Saturday June 2009. The pipe rattle was so loud it must have had an effect on the vibration throughout the whole network of pipes. Without this I can't see how the ball would have come off. The nut was not tightened against the ball is the only way this can come undone.

# 11 unless it was the f and e tank or he changed the ball valve in the cwsc tank not his fault I don't understand the f and the e tank?

# 5 Was all this back in 2009 or are you linking a pipe rattle to the ball valve vibrating loose 6yrs later?

The boiler was fitted in 2009 May and the leak happened on 5th June 2009. I'm just asking how common is this to happen. Should he not have checked that the overflow was sufficient to handle the amount of water going into the tank? And should he not have checked that the ball was properly secured in the tank?
