I would have been tempted to shout loudly at them and
threaten to report them to Watchdog or something.
Check your terms and conditions and see if they
mention it being voided by modifying the disk layout
or installed OS in anyway, they may say something less
specific.

Failing that, just go and shout loudly at them at a
peak sales time in front of loads of potential
customers or contact their head office with a written
compaint. It might embarrass them enough to reconsider
or offer you a refund.

While my understanding of what they actually do in the
health check and the contents of their T&Cs is naive,
I think this is disgusting treatment.
