Has anyone had any problems with their gas supply around the Goose Green/Worlingham Road area?


My combi boiler stopped working at the weekend, which was pretty surprising as it's only three years old and top of the range. I've finally had the Vaillant engineer over today and he said that there wasn't enough gas coming through to ignite the boiler and that I needed to call my gas supplier as there could potentially be a leak somewhere.


So the gas man came over and after dismantling the gas meter he was very surprised to find a large stone wedged in the gas pipe. He thought the meter was a little heavy as if there was stuff inside it that shouldn't be there so he fitted in a new meter. Other than that he couldn't see any other problems and the boiler still isn't working. So I'm back to square one again and the engineer is coming back tomorrow.


My main concern is, how did the stone get into the gas pipe? And the only logical reason that I can think of is that when they were doing the road works/gas pipes last year that they may have got some gravel/road into the system and its been making its way through the houses (maybe this is a little far fetched). But I am concerned that perhaps smaller particles have managed to make their way to the back of my house to the boiler and clogged it up.


Has anyone else had any problems with their gas/boiler?

    • The problem is Starmer can't shut up about his dad being a tool maker, they made Keir,  a right prize tool. Reeves continually blames the previous Govt, but correct me if I'm wrong but inflation was decreasing, unemployment was stagnant, with decreases and the occasional increase, things were beginning to stabalise overall.    Then we had the election 4 July when Starmer and co swept to power, three months on things are worse than they were before, yet Reeves continues to blame the former Govt. The national debt doubled overnight with public sectors all getting a wage increase and now the budget that penalises business with the increase in Employers national insurance. The result of which will be increased prices in the shops, increased inflation, increased numbers of redundancies, increased unemployment and increased pressures on the DWP to fund this    Future growth will go backwards and become negative, farmers will no longer farm in protest against the Govt, more people will become poorer and unable to pay their bills, things will spiral out of control and we'll have a repeat of the General Strike until this bunch of inept politicians resign and Kemi and co prevent the ship from hitting the iceberg and sinking.  
    • Indeed so.  Just noting there are other options and many children and indeed young adults may well be perplexed and/or irritated by a cheque. 
    • My experience of the CT is that when they screw up, their first instinct is to cover up. They are also shameless liars.
    • And that's your choice, but it's not everyone's choice.  Some people don't like or can't do what you do.
