To whom it may concern,

Re: Consumer Rights Act 2015

On 14 January 2022 you completed the following work for me: New boiler and central heating system installation

I paid £300.

One of the radiators leaks and has ruined my carpet.

In support of my claim, I'm enclosing: photos of the damage to my carpets from the leaky radiator

I would like you to:

Replace the leaky radiator, and the other radiators that have all been painted using paint meant for walls and provide payment to cover for the cost of the damaged carpet.

Please respond to my complaint in the next 14 days. If you fail to respond or put the problem right in this time, I will have no option but to consider taking the matter further.

Yours faithfully,

Sam Hoolin
