Fitted loads of these boilers has have most the the engineers on here. They are fantastic but unfortunately a modification they made to the boiler ment a new divertor cartridge was fitted for a short period of time before they realised that there was an issue with them. They have reverted back to the original design now but sounds like you have one of the faulty upgraded cartridges which is a mm short and cause the boiler to stick in central heating. Give Ideal a call who I'm sure will be more happy to pop out and change the cartridge for you.

As Micky ET has stated Building Regulation Part L covers this. Link below explains more. http://www.thenbs.com/buildingregs/associateddocuments/ShowContents.aspx?section=domestic&topic=b_0601_ASSDOC_DOMESTIC_00108&tl=no Also if you call Gas Safe on 0800 408 5500 they will arrange to come out and check the engineers work then force him to make any necessary changes.

Under building regulations and the boiler manufacturers benchmark book a room thermostat is mandatory. Its classed as a boiler interlock which means it turns the boiler off once the property reaches a set temperature. By not fitting one he has breached building regs. I would check he has also registered the boiler with Gas Safe as I doubt he has if he hasn't fitted a room thermostat. Hope this helps.
