That would be a record!
Why?
Why what ?
Hmm...that seems that ONLY the digital documentation was completed, and the actual boiler not looked at, at all.Including digital documentation, it was done as part of my home emergency cover, seems a bit quick for an annual service of my Valiant ecotec 28 !!!
Still, if it keeps the home emergency cover valid then I suppose it's OK. Inexpert boiler "servicing" can actually introduce faults that weren't there before.
I had a discussion with a service engineer with mine, he stated that all he had to do was put a probe in the external flue and if in acceptable limits job done.
I changed engineer and the next guy seemed far more efficient, checking and cleaning inside the boiler, cleaning the filter and even checking the rad valves,all for the same price. £90 plus vat seemed a fair price for the 30-40 mins it took him.

It’s not a service, it’s a gas safety check. There’s a distinct difference.

The report did supply photos of the cover off and a meter testing something
Yes, cover removed and 3 photos on the report tooI would probably query it with the company concerned. Did the cover even get removed? Surely they need to do that to check for leaks/all ok inside?
