As a punter I was abit alarmed about this. Mid-new boiler fitting whilst removing the cylinder water has leaked through into the kitchen ceiling around the light fitting etc.
The old heating control panel has a mass of wires sticking out of the wall and the old immersion switch for the cylinder has been opened with all three wires hanging out.
I am mindful that this is mid-job in a unoccupied house however is the plumber sufficiently trained to cope/safely seal off these items without bodging it? (i.e. remove and deal with the immersion cabling and other associated wiring etc effectively?).
He also added that leaking happens sometimes and its not a biggie.
In addition after pulling out the old gas fire in the living room I discovered the (lead) gas pipe that fed the fire actually ran that the concrete hearth. Can he pull that out from under the fireplace back to the source and seal off easily enough? Its not a big job if the pipe is accessible? He mentioned by law his not really supposed to cap lead piping.
They are coming back tomorrow to finish. I’m new to all this and don’t want to have my trousers pulled down or have to call in an Electrician unnecessarily.
