You may be a decent bloke in the flesh but you don't half make yourself look like a sad old tart in here.



I can see where you're coming from franksonny and Joe might be a bit of a tart, but on the other hand, over 60,000 recent RGI installed condensing boilers stopped working in last winters cold snap due in the main to incorrectly installed condensing pipes. Reimbursments to customers due to the incoveiniece were as rare as rocking horse manure and many were even shafted again to pay for a RGI to pour a kettle of hot water over the condensing pipe that had been installed on the exterior of the property.

where does it say you can't install condense pipes external? My 86 year old grandad was out with a kettle when the condense pipe froze has he had read the fault code in the manual. Its just common sense and nothing to do with giving people money back for a job that may have been completed 5 years previous. But has a lesson be learned from this definately but what about the custard that dosen't want his kitchen cupboards drilling to accomadate a condense pipe..?

Put me on your ignore list then.

Ah, I'd forgotten about the Ignore button. This is almost certainly the most useful post you've ever made. Of course, I won't see what you say to this because I shall be ignoring you by the time you read it, but thanks

Tenner says you don't.

 

[ChrisOxford]

Annoyingly, even if you choose to ignore someone, you still get to read most of what they say because someone else usually quotes it.

Been there, done that, not mentioning any names

Plus the fact that he post's using numerous ID's

An 11 year old child coming away from his/hers first science lesson would probably be aware that a unprotected/un-insulated water pipe installed on the exterior of a building is likely to freeze in cold weather, as for you expecting grandads and I suppose granmothers, invalids and pregnant women etc to clamber up a ladder in freezing weather with a boiling kettle in tow in order to defrost the condense pipe, you couldn't make it up

couldn't have put it better! and by the way we don't charge if we don't fix even when we have to go 20 miles each way!!

 

[joe-90]

Shouldn't there be a Gas safe mandate that if you don't fix it you don't charge? Drummed out of the industry if you do?

Can't think of any other industry that gets away with it.

I never pay tradesmen on the day - I ask for an invoice through the post. When it's clear that the problem is sorted - then I'll post a cheque. Simples.

 

[kevindgas]

then you would also have to include other trades as well, i recently had a company not only charge me a set up fee, which i was happy to pay, but then "Stole" from my account as well by taking a years fee in advance! thankfully it was on a creditcard so i have disputed the transaction! so there are rogues in all industries.
really think you need to lose the big chip on your shoulder joe - what happened did you missus run off with a gasman?

 

[Tibbot]

That would only prove, in your case, the other industries are getting away with it.

Your contract is for a fix - if they don't honour the contract then don't pay.

One of the the things I do is repair security systems - I would NEVER charge for a job I couldn't fix. If it is obsolete or beyond economic repair then I give them a price for a new panel. It becomes a quote rather than a job. Why doesn't the gas fitter do the same?
