Repair boiler , unable to gain access to back properties so report overloaded meter to Emergency Service Provider. This does not exist as a category of a situation they deal with but he put it down as low pressure.
National Grid guy calls and doesn't know what to do as he can't prove low pressure but in the end after talking to manager decides to cap off meter . This leaves four families without heat and hot water. The only people not responsible for this situation.
The commissioning book is lying around and I see it is a local company that I have reported to Gas Safe for issuing a LGSC on an open flued appliance with incorrect fluing and no ventilation which they had filled in as room sealed but not tested. Other jobs of theirs included , condenses onto concrete outside, room stat in same cupboard with boiler 3 port valves with no hw off line, numerous low inlet working pressure jobs. In general; take the money and do whatever they feel like merchants or what the land-lord asks.
There is no-one to investigate of course because the land-lord is not going to call Gas Safe in and the tenants aren't in a position to do so even if they understood what was going on.
Did however pass the info on to the House in Multiple Occupancy enforcement unit as there were also things about the electrics that looked pretty cowboy as well.
At the end of the day though I can't help feeling that far from protecting people's safety, I have left people in the freezing cold for quite a few days.
