The filling valve and loop is totally correct and made up of two isolating valves!
It has got to have a non return valve and TWO isolating valves normally with black plastic handles!
Current is non compliant with Water Regulations.

Well thats their 1st mistake, thanks Tony.

Im not too happy with the piping arrangement either, Im considering getting them back in, or better still, im going to sort it myself.
.What's the wires wrapped round the gas pipe at the bottom? Also the wire that runs round the back of the gas pipe? That's an early NCS...
Jesus Christ. That is shocking, I honestly don't know how you let them leave the house.

The wire at the bottom of the gas pipe is mine, just a lead from other side of wall for fridge on this side.. Don't worry about that..
The other wires at the top will be the 3amp mains to the boiler and the grey one is 2 core for the wave thermostat. I did mention these wires, the reply was "it's ok there heat resistant"
..O! what's an NCS?
Not to current standards, any cable or flex should be 25mm from gas pipe.
The installer was a valiant fan too.. Mostly for there easiness to work on and easy to installness!...
Great for the novices I presume!
I suspect a lot more skill is involved to fit the Worcester ?
So this will be there 2nd mistake...
But Then again you haven't seen where my ring mains and lighting and cooker/electric shower feeds go...
If 25mm is regulations on 3amp flex... I would personally let them off with it... I don't like it near the hot pipes though...
