Hi guys,
I live in a housing association flat and during a refurb they installed the combi boiler in the wrong location (not as requested, not as indicated on the schedule of works). However, after a year of wrangling they will not do anything about it but have given permission to have it moved.
The correct site is further down the same wall in the kitchen and the job requires 2 pipes extending and upscaling from 15 to 22mm, extending the electric supply and extending the heating circuit pipes. The boiler was installed in a day by 3 men doing various things on and off.
I have had some quotes around £600.
My questions are;
1. What is a reasonable length of time for this job for a plumber and his mate?
2. What is a reasonable daily rate for a plumber in London? Is my quote reasonable.
3. According to building regs the flue has to be min 300mm from an opening window - any exceptions to this?
4. What qualifications are required to work on extending the electricity supply?
Probably the biggest question of all;
5. If a corgi registered professional disconnects the gas supply can the work be done by a non-corgi registered tradesman subject to the corgi man coming back, inspecting the work, reconnecting the gas supply and issuing a certificate?
Thanks for your help.
