Had a call today from a landlord in Sheff who was asked by tennant of his (who is on hols since end of Nov) to just check house as heard of cold spell as he had turned off the heating.
"Oh Boy the Landlord get a suprise." 5 Burst water pipes, and a burst boiler, "it was like Niagra Falls". We have pumped out water for over two hours and nearly had to gut entire house. Landlord is NOT a happy man, "but I am". I think the tennant may be in a bit of trouble when he gets back of hols.
