Then they should allow you to get further estimates ( or has it been fixed already? ). If that was a reason, then they should have advised you BEFORE you got the work done.
Why cant they pay out a reduced sum due to wear and tear?
Dont give up.
Well this is how it went
Ou boiler broke beyond repair due to summat and water damage as there was a leak going on behind it.
We got a quote and just told him to get on with the job as we had already been without heat for a week but thought it just needed a repair of some kind.
It was a friend who said that certain boiler breakdowns are covered on buildings insurances and I saw that water damage is one of the grounds for claiming. But the work had already been done.
So we are fooked basically.But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.0 -

oh lou - that's truly pants....
I suppose originally you weren't going to use insurance as you didn't know about it, but even still, must be annoying as hell when you thought you might get a bit of it back....

Once i get over the dissapointment I will be OK:o
We now have an A rated condensing boiler which will save us on our fuel bills by at least a third I reckon and we have gained a storage cupboard as the old water tanks have been removed.
Every cloud and that.........................but for now I am going to enjoy my mope for a bit longer:o:mad:
