What does the boiler installer have to say?
Has he been paid yet?
I bet he has been paid and has gone on foreign holidays for a month like the one who did my WAU has now gone on holidays, he was suppose to issue me a safety certificate but couldn't issue one because the tenant had lost her bloody prepayment gas key and so we could not resume gas supply and now she will have to go without heating for another bloody month! She managed to order a new one from her supplier but it is a bit late for the engineer who is now away on holidays! I might have to pay again to someone else to do the safety record! s***s law!
you really do have a very bad attitude when it comes to the rules & regs of the gas industry in this country, so you are blaming the RGI because he can't confirm your tenant isn't going to kill herself because SHE lost the gas card gezzzzzzzzzzz.
I think you should watch the up coming xmas corrie then maybe just maybe you may open your eyes.
I am not so sure if I understood your post well, yes I will be watching that corrie! lol! but I am not so sure what your real concerns are, I am not blaming the RGI having gone on holidays! but the fact that I agreed that he could not issue a safety record because we both were not expecting that there would be a problem with the gas supply, because the tenant uses a prepayment meter, and when we asked her if she can get some credit for the gas, she could not find the card!
It is quite obvious that no RGI with warm air qualifications is able to test an appliance properly without the presence of gas and test the combustible products of its flue, as well as all other necessary tests like spillage etc etc, and check that the overheat device functions properly this time.
All that can only be performed when an appliance is working properly, with the gas supply restored, so because of lack of gas, the safety record could not be issued. I am hardly blaming the engineer, it is just most unfortunate that my circumstances are getting more and more difficult.
I am just having a bad time at the moment, it is one thing after another!
In this particular case, its been the fault of the tenant right from the very moment the heating broke down, she did not even report that it had suffered a serious malfunction!
I am blaming the tenant for putting me in this difficult situation, on the one hand threatening to report me for not having a space heating and on the other when we have gone there to restore it, then she looses her prepayment card!
I know the safety rules, i intend to stick to them, and follow every piece of good advice.
