Well I have a Valliant boiler and matching unvented cylinder.
When the Vaillant engineer came round for a service, he didn't
even look at the cylinder, wasn't interested. "Nothing to
service" ISTR he said.

The man is a fool. Do you have a piece of paper to say it has been
looked at? If there is an insurance claim the insurance company
will disown you.

There's nothing whatsoever in the small print of my insurance policy
to suggest that.

Read again. A unvented cylinder needs a service by an "approved"
fitter, usually BBA every year. If there is a fault, a claim, and
not serviced they will not pay up. Being CORGI is not being unvented
approved.

So just out of interest, if I was to scan in all the small print of my
insurance policy and post it up here, would you believe me then?

Ring them up. Your cylinder fails and the ceiling collapses beneath -
£10Ks worth of damage. Contact insurance company and they say was the
cylinder serviced? You say, no. They say, No way Jose. Give them a
ring and see what they say.

I've always thought it was a general principle of entering into a
written contract (with an insurance company or otherwise) that the terms
of the contract are written down in advance and signed, rather than made
up on the spur of the moment to suit one party to the contract. But
what do I know - I'm clearly a plantpot and need to eff off, right?
