Received my final payslip from my old job today, since April I’ve taken 8 days A/L in total but I’m convinced I’ve accrued more in the period between then and now but they’ve not paid me for them, I hate company’s who do this kind of stuff and make you feel like you’re begging for what is rightfully yours in the first place… Knobheads …. Think they bank on people not chasing it up.

If it's HR, they are trained to basically make you feel uncomfortable and make sure they say nothing at all that would keep the company out of protection.
I’ve emailed them this morning, no response yet but I’ll give them until Monday afternoon to get back to me.
Got a multi fuel stove installed last December. Had a chimney sweep in today who has told us not to use the stove as it hasn't been installed properly and needs ripped out and redone. We paid £800 and it looks like it will cost us around double that to get this sorted. Not happy at all.

Cleaning the dispenser drawer on the washing machine. I like to maintain the thing properly as shown in the instructions but the removable drawer is a pain to deal with. It's shaped like a sort of spaceship with lots of nooks and crannies that are impossible to fully clean out. Also the chamber it goes into is the source of cuts to hands and bruised knuckles. You can never really clean it more than 70% or so. It goes back together still visibly black with grime.

Did the installer leave you with a certificate of installation? And told you to keep it with your house insurance documents?
If not, well, the sweep is probably right. Also, a proper installer would insist the chimney is swept before they install it anyrate. And £800 for a unit plus installation seems way too cheap to me. I paid nearly double for about the smallest burner you can get.
No we didn't get a certificate of installation. HETAS certs aren't a requirement here. Even though our installer said he was HETAS approved and would give us a cert!!! One of the many things we learnt as part of this process as we had different things being told to us by different installers we were in contact with.
We knew lots of soot came down when they installed it, but we weren't in the house so assumed they swept it. Then after they left they were due to come back to put the closure plate in another day and never did, since then we have had soot just falling into the fireplace.
The £800 was installation only. We bought the stove and everything else seperately.
I have a fella out on the 23rd to give me a quote to redo it all.

That sounds well dodgy if soot from the chimney is hitting the fireplace. Did he install like a sleeve thing from the burner to the new "pot" he put on top of the old pot? Cos thats why you need it swept before installation, cos any soot on the original chimney will be there forever, unless it falls into the fireplace, or gets ignited by the new flue thing.

Thats what got me alarmed. Was trying to get him out for months to sort it all out and he stopped replying. From then I've been waiting on the chimney sweep and other installers and the chimney sweep happened to be the first one here.
From what we were told today the flue lining is a few inches too short and with all that old soot built up if we use the stove we would be risking setting the place on fire.

In my lay mans world, detatching the flue, take the burner out, sweep the original chimney, then reattatch a longer flue shouldnt be that pricey. But what do I know.
That would be the correct time to indicate if you were going straight ahead, just saying.
