Plumber came to service our worcester bosch boiler the other day. He mentioned that the TF1 magnetic filter was leaking. This had not been the case before he came. I addition he also said he put some sealant round the cap to stop it leaking. Whilst he was here we heard some really loud banging. I though this was particularly unusual just for a service. I questioned what this banging was about and he then said that they had to hit the filter with a hammer to get it off (bear in mind it is only plastic) and said that they usually come with a wrench to remove the cap. I told him that we had one and he should have asked for it. Anyway service done, all sorted, however I wasn't certain about how leak proof the TF1 was so left all the stuff out the cupboards and put a contained underneath. Upon closer inspection it appeared to be leaking around the rim of the cap, directly below where there are witness marks from the hammering they did.
I'm no plumber, but surely this isn't standard practice?
Anyway, I rang him up and said its leaking and asked him to come out and have a look.
My partner feels like we the plumber will make us pay for this, I on the other hand think not.
Let me know your thoughts?
