Tenants have been meddling with electrics on boiler

As you have an agent they, at least, should have been asked for approval before such changes were started or made.

Well, whether the OP has an agent now is not all that relevant to discussion about the incident which happened over 11 years ago

thanks for quick reply guys. All this has been considered. We are aware about getting permission before doing stuff, but up to now the tenants have been good and I'm trying to avoid getting heavy. I realise the agent, who receives their fee has a vested interest in keeping things sweet...but as they say...taking the legal approach is long and difficult and almost always, the guilty party is given the opportunity to put things right first anyway.

They suggest it's Far better to let the tenants have the opportunity to prove the alterations were done by a qualified guy and for them to get the dodgy wiring sorted out. In principle, we have nothing against them adding this thermostat system..but were ****ed off they didn't ask first and now it seems to be potentially dangerous.

So, back to my question...what can I request from them/him to prove the boiler has been checked...and all is now good

I think you should tell the tenant to return everything to the condition it was before it was altered, using either his mate or somebody else, at his expense.
