[qs]

when performing a safety check if the gas fire was removed for a flue check and the closure tape needed replacing would you tell them that it needs servicing or replacing the tape is part of the safety check.

you can check the catchment space with a torch if it is clean and no damper fitted and the area is ok why the need to take off the closure plate

Kev is quite right in asking the question. Enter your CORGI number and trading title and information will be provided to you off the forum so that some DIYer does carry out work with results shown in the picture on another discussion.

I am sure Kev is being prudent by not answering a question as he does not know if you are competent to carry out gas work. Not only do you hgave to be CORGI registered, but also registered to work on gas fires.

the question is not a technical question it is a information question which has nothing to do with being competent. here we go lets all jump on the kev band wagon??????

Must admit I don't see a problem in providing information as long as we are not encouraging unqualified people to carry out gas work....it is all in general publications available to anyone after all.
Although I would say that asking if you put new tape on the closure plate is a bit like asking if you put the screws back in the boiler

Kev has already answered the question, but it's obvious really. If the tape which previously successfully sealed the closure plate lost its adhesive qualities during the inspection then you clearly cannot leave the installation unsafe as a consequence of a safety inspection!!!! - replace the tape and write out the ticket, don't charge for tape.
