Flexible flue - is this as complete a bodge as I think it is

[spareshunter]

Did you stop to consider that it might not have been fitted correctly in the first place

I did mention that if you see one of my original posts and was going to advise you of your course of action, until you became unreasonable to say the least when you "comment" on your risk assessment of a flue as in this case could be acceptable.

You will notice throughout I have been specific in the type of flue we are discussing and it was not Flue-less ie, hob, cooker and Flue-less fires (catalytic to be precise), balanced flue, fanned flue, vortex flue, coaxial flue, twin flue the list goes on, all having their different concept to gas safety.

I suggest in the nicest way possible way please if you would like information on these types of gas appliance I would humbly request that you start a new thread on the subject and not to cloud the issue in hand.

The situation if not signed off and accepted as ID would be escalated to the local provider who would then have to use the rights of entry regs. http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1996/2535/regulation/5/made[/QUOTE]

This would be based on our decision whilst on site, obviously your decision to refuse disconnection.

Note that at no time at all has refusal to allow disconnection been mooted - well not by me. And for the avoidance of doubt (I have already stated it) the appliance was disconnected at the time.

Interesting though to consider fluing into lofts, it's more that the build up of POC would and could be overwhelming if the appliance was running for too long.

Indeed, and there is a "too long" element there. In this case, the loft is also quite well ventilated, so even if the appliance were on continuously, the POCs would be constantly diluted by the ventilation. But that's a hypothetical situation because as it happens the appliance hadn't been used at all.

I think slagging is becoming way to prevelant on this site!

Indeed.

You would have a point except for a slight detail. I didn't make such an assessment - that's only what you apparently want me to have said. Read what I actually wrote, in context.

Simon, instead of coming here sounding off against everything that you are told, why dont you just get the flue sorted?

I have noticed several times that you have come here to ask for advice or just to generally bellyache and then when you are given opinions you become very belligerent possibly because you have a name in your area and tradesmen refuse to work for you.

I think that you are just a sad little nobody who prefers to whinge on the internet when a certain part of your body is sore from watching too much pornography.

Which if you'd read between the crap I've had thrown at me you'd see that I will be doing. I've had other things to do as well (this afternoon I was at a friends funeral) and I need to make sure that when I tackle those responsible I am prepared.

I ask for advice or comments, but then get insults and personal attacks from certain elements. For example, one person has taken a statement I made, misread it out of context and gone on from there to assume I'm the sort of person he'd have to call the gas co out to have the property cut off in the street. That's not offering advice, that just being an idiot.

Well you're welcome to your opinion, if making insults like that gives you a thrill then who am I to argue.

For the avoidance of doubt, the gas to the appliance was turned off (using it's service valve rather than the higher risk option of disturbing the pipe work).

Note that at no time at all has refusal to allow disconnection been mooted - well not by me. And for the avoidance of doubt (I have already stated it) the appliance was disconnected at the time.

Both your comments:So has the fire supply pipe been disconnected physically or not, ie capped off (not just turned off at the gas valve) completely and and a gas tightness test applied.

Or have you simply Mmmmmmm you tell me.

No time to get it sorted yet you have plenty of time to argue long after you have been given good advice..

I have given you advice in the past and you have been agressive when you didn't like the advice.....And you wonder why we insult you?

Stop feeding the troll.

Had this same nonsense with him on the electrical forum , guy is an idiot as already stated.

Perhaps your right steel, going back to the other side and talk to Ben, I miss him, may even buy him a pint.

Not sure who I prefer.

At least I don't have to look at big print.

Nahh.... Ben does have a sense of humour and Simon hasn't mentioned his T&Cs

It was turned off at the service valve - the one that needs a tool (screwdriver) to work it - and leak tested. Nothing to do with my preferences, it's what the GS registered chap did.
