The engineer arrived as scheduled. Said he needed to buy parts and left. Came back and worked for 1.5 hours and found a part of the hob needs replacement.
The engineer, Lewis, said while leaving that he will invoice for 2.5 hours and will need to come back when part arrives. I asked him to bill for less as actual work was less and not complete. He agreed for 2 hours.
Later the invoice arrived for 2.5 hours (£300 with parts included). When I mailed him to ask why the extra half hour, he stopped responding until I mailed the company. He is not agreeing to 2 hours now.
I will pay him but have decided to use British Gas to complete the test of the job.
Prompt, on time and professional.
I will be staying with these guys.

The Effects Of Unresolved Leaks
Hidden water leaks cause many problems, often becoming more severe over time. Here are some key issues they can lead to:
Structural Damage
Ongoing dampness can weaken timber structures like joists and floorboards, potentially undermining the building’s structure.
Mould & Damp Patches
Damp conditions are perfect for mould and damp patches to flourish. These not only look unsightly but can also pose health risks, particularly for individuals with allergies or respiratory problems.
Electrical Hazards
Water getting into electrical systems can cause electrical failure and pose a serious fire risk.
Higher Water Bills
Even minor leaks can lead to a noticeable increase in your water bills, as they constantly wastewater.
Damage To Internal Decor
Leaks can cause unsightly water stains, paint peeling, or bulging in walls and ceilings (which can eventually collapse).
Attract Rodents
Persistent dampness may attract pests like rodents, which are a health issue.
Foundation Issues
Over time, leaks can reach the house’s foundation, leading to cracks or subsidence, which are both hazardous and costly.
Odours & Visual Damage
Persistent moisture often causes a musty smell, which is an unpleasant thing to live with.
