Time limit for invoicing work?

Hi,
I had a new boiler installed by a large utility company a few months back. I experienced a catologue of problems prior to installation, including a weekend with no heating and many hours on the phone to call centres.
I have subsequently put in a complaint to the company in question and been offered a 10% discount on the boiler and installation costs.
Part of the problem is that there system does not appear to recognise my contact details and possibly as a consequence I still have not been billed for the work. I have notified the company of this but still no bill has arrived.
Is there a time limit after which a company can no longer invoice for work? What responsibilities do I have for for informing them that I still haven't been invoiced.
Given my experience with this company I'm not especially keen to pay them if I don't have to, but don't want to spend the money and then I receive a bill in 6 months time.
Has anyone got any advice?
Many thanks.

Time limit is 6 years!"Some say the cup is half empty, while others say it is half full. However, this is skirting around the issue. The real problem is that the cup is too big."0
