This is not so much a dodgy install but a case of dodgy engineers failing to spot a problem. 13 engiineers had been to the job prior to my visit and caused all sorts of problems trying to find the cause of the overflow on the header tank. Either no one else had noticed the drip coming from the open vent with the system off or hadn't realised its significance. The cold water storage cistern was at a higher level than the header tank and it was obviously a split coil causing the problem. The pump had been moved, the primaries upgraded, a bypass put in complete with various leaks through the ceiling in attempts to solve the problem.This had been going on for 15 months and we had to repaint the side of the custards house due to the brown staining from the continuous overflowing.

Haha that gate valve is a great one! I'm putting my camera in the van from now on. (no my phone really is that rubbish!)
 
Loving the gate valve!!!

The last picture is awsome too. He must have stood back and been really proud with that.....
 
Judging by the boarded up door below, I think they could be squatters.....which would explain the terribleness of it.
