I did a job recently, posted on here actually as had to get national grid out 3 times..
Anyway, everything got sorted and went back out Wednesday to service the boiler and do a GSC. Everything was fine.
Just had a text from custard saying there's a gas leak. Said I don't see how since I tested it and there was no drop, completely solid. She said national grid there now and its my pipework.
We speak on the phone and she clarified the pipe that was leaking was a steel pipe.
After a bit of deciphering and a photo what had happened was, a bit of flux must have got onto the anaconda when I heated up a fitting nearby without me realising and ate away at it.
Reading was 53 LEL. [emoji15]
I'm still shaking. I didn't realise I'd got flux on it otherwise I'd have cleaned it. Luckily nothing bad happened and I've learned a valuable lesson here. But Jesus, I feel absolutely sick to my stomach!!!
