Having a terrible time with the hot water in my flat, would appreciate advice from any of you guys 'in the know'.
Direct combination cylinder in flat been on it's last legs for a while due to heavy limescale. Packed up a few weeks ago. Since then been a misery trying to get it sorted. Plumbers promising to turn up and not, called British Gas 'it's a cylinder mate, not a boiler'. Although the British Gas guy was a gent and measured up my cylinder, told me the specifications (Direct combination tank, economy 7 etc...).
Plan B. Source the cylinder myself. Some plumbers in my local Rugby club only too happy to help install, but no time to come round during the day. No problem, or so I thought....
