Mum-of-two Margaret Phillips, 72, from Edinburgh signed up for the Warmer Homes Scotland scheme in early September, to have a new heating system installed.

However the work from the contractor and managing agent Warmworks left without her washer and tumble dryer, after the machines were disconnected during the installation, reports Edinburgh Live.
