I had a shocking service from an electrician who was paid in full then his bodge job became evident. He refused to return to do the job he invoiced for. I had to pay again to correct his shoddy workmanship. He's had 6 fake call-outs / time wasting quotes so far. There'll be more next year, 100%!
Chris king is the bollocks one of the best gas engineers ive ever met. He taught me when i went to college he actually owns the college very clever man.
British Gas would've condemned your boiler & tried to sell you a new one. The scamming thieves tried to do that to me 2 years ago claiming they couldn't get the parts, they could, stock items. Gave em 24 hours to fix it or I'd report em, still going strong today 👍
I'm a gas engineer of 24 years and can confirm British gas are con artists! I know alot of the lads that worked for them and they are told to actively look for faults/ problems and condemn boilers. Absolutely disgusting.
I am glad to say I have never had this problem, but in any case I would never pre pay, even a deposit for job. That's a red alert right there. Love the vids! Good job!
And that is why I have become a jack of all trades. I do not believe ANY tradesman. Yes, it has cost me a several thousand pounds to buy all necessary tools and after many hours on RUclips University, I can competently change, fix or amend everything around the house and car. Never paid more then a nominal fee for MOT (20 years old banger), done the entire bathroom including all copper soldering, wall insulation, tiling; fence building, ground work, etc, etc.. I think, I have saved thousands and I am very happy with my skills. I even received a trade card at my local supplier :-)

This happened to one of my clients. Her TV was pixellating and couldn’t get any signal. She called an antenna trades person. They replaced her antenna and charged her $900. She paid and they left. She turned her TV on and still had the same problem. She contacted me as she was at her wits end. I went over there and had a look. I found the problem was a faulty cable from her TV to the wall socket. I replaced the cable and there you go. Problem solved. The cable cost only $15.
We once had such a crap wiring job done on our aerial circuitry that you had to keep the main living room TV turned on at the mains permanently, else the signal was poor elsewhere in the house. 20 years on and I still don't understand what they did or how they screwed it up so badly.
The biggest crook on the programme is the motorcycle driver.Hes out and about trying to catch dodgy people and he's one of them .Hypocrisy at its best.

It was interesting seeing how many of these are still trading now.... None. Rapid services dissolved in 2003 - shortly after this.
