Just managed to check for replies and thanks to everyone for their input. Particularly Tony - I will get a letter put together and email it across. I guess talking about this with him is the way forward.... From his point of view he probably would want to avoid registering it with...

thanks for replying. The reason I was worried about the warranty was that vaillant told me he has a month from installation to register it. The boiler was installed on 26/3/2012 (says this on benchmark sheet) so the month is almost up. I think he needs to get a move on with his bill if he...

Hi. Thanks for taking the time to reply. I see your point about not registering until being paid. That would not be an issue with me if he hadnt previously assured me that it had been registered. Any thoughts on the vaillant warranty or the price of finding and fixing the gas leak?

sorry for swearing moderator!

Hi everyone, I called the number on my new vaillant 831 boiler today to activate my warranty. Vaillant told me that it is my vaillant approved installers job to activate a 5 year warranty and that I cant do it. Just to check, I asked them if it had been registered by the approved installer...

Getting a new combi condensing boiler (vaillant 831) installed in first floor bathroom. 2 installers suggested running 22mm pipework from bathroom at top of stairs to the cellar area under the stairs and from there under timber ground floors to feed 4 radiators. All rads are different...

I'm interested to see some replies to snm's comment. Surely my slates have to follow the line of next doors' otherwise it would look weird. Greg

I sacked the guy today. Definitely the right decision. Going to get it done properly and am happy to write off the grand I stupidly paid up front!

The guy came recommended by a friend whos roof was replaced by the guy 20 years ago. I guess a person can change a lot in that time. I feel a bit sorry for the guy sometimes cos I can see he isn't happy with his own work. Not my problem though is it?

Alistair - you are an absolute legend! Thanks for that link.

Thanks Alistair for the link but I'm in Macclesfield, Cheshire. I should have mentioned this earlier. Searching on google now for a local company that can inspect the roof. As always, any help is greatly appreciated!!! Greg

I have decided to seek advice from an expert. What qualifications should I look for in a recognised roofing expert?

Thanks Alastair, please see my recent comments on the new post that may explain some (not all) of your points. the job was to reuse existing slates where possible but where it may be possible to reuse a slate, it might not be advisable eg. If both nail holes are shot. I am not an expert so its...

This thread is clearly not a wind up. I am genuinely looking for advice from people who know their stuff. I have started a new thread in the roofing and guttering section with more recent pictures called "opinions on roofing job from qualified roofers please". Please take a look at the new...

Thanks for your comments guys. Please could you have a look at the new post I have made showing the progress with the front of the roof. For the first week 2 guys worked 11am to 330pm to strip the roof, felt and re batten. Last week they started a bathroom and just one guy came for half a...

Big thanks to Sas roofer for your thorough comments on what you see in the pics. The last pic is of a broken batten. I guess his foot must have slipped. These things happen though. The house is a semi. The portion of the roof with ridge tiles on is next door. Our property is the portion of roof...

Thanks for commenting on the job I'm having done at the mo. If you get chance is be grateful if you could look at the more recent pictures I have now posted and give me your professional opinion of the workmanship. Greg.

Hi everyone. There has been some progress on the roof now. I would welcome some comments by qualified roofers on the quality of the work done so far. Thanks guys, Greg
