The first thing a plumber should be is registered at CORGI; here they will get a lot of information about boiler maintenance, ask the engineer appropriate questions about their CORGI registration, and persuade him to think twice before making a fool out of you.
As the plumber starts working on your boiler, use the checklist in the guide to find out whether he working properly or not.
- Did the engineer check the boiler vent?.
- Has a pipework inspection been carried out? Ventilation should be normal and confirmed as so.
- Has he replaced all the faulty parts with new purchased parts?.
- All the parts of the boiler and their proper operation must be checked.
- Key parts should be removed and reinstalled after cleaning.
If your repairman is going through all these steps systematically, you know he is doing a good job.
