hello all,my mother in law whos in her 70s had a leak and had to have a new immersion heater fitted less than 2 yrs ago . my regular plumber whos excellent was away so i employed someone else to do the job. now its firing water out the over flow every morning( shes on economy 7) the plumber wont come back and doesnt answer my calls,even though he came back to check the problem once and said hed be back. now my regular plumber has condemned it all,said its dangerous and has told me to report him and let people know just how dangerous it is! but who do i tell? is there a body who checks these kind of things? its not gas so gas safe aint no good? its gone beyond him coming back now. as a napit reg sparky i know that if i dangerously bodged id be answerable and hate cowboys who con old ladies...he werent cheap either!!!!!!
 
i know mate but id like to let others know and get him a rap on the knuckles next time he rides his horse into town!
 
how is dangerous if it has been going for two years and now have develop a leak ?
could you pls be more specific and also put in some photos !
 
Don't know how you could fit one dangerously, they have built in thermostatic shut offs and it's three wires? Sound like a faulty thermostat. Bit quick to condem someone
 
swapped an immersion worked for 2 years - and now your friendly plumber has come and condemned it all (the whole system?) i take it your giving your friendly plumber the work of replacing the full system?

how you condemn a full system over an immersion heater?

yes like the others say - a pic would be great...
