The point I was making, which you overlooked, was that had I arranged for the service two months ago I would have paid £60 and Npower were also doing a deal for £50. It's my fault and my loss as I will now have to pay more, but I never intended to insult anyone here as you clearly took it...

Thank you Hugh Thanks for posting some helpful info. Am going to look at the Gas Safety Register Site and find a local independant who can do the job. Regards

To: Glasgow gas Firstly I am assuming the FFS is a swear word? Is it really necessary to have to be so rude? Do you need to resort to that level? £89 is actually a lot of money for a single parent who is working her butt off but hit in this economic climate like so many of us, so...

I dont know if its fair to post this up here but anyone know who is offering boiler service at a competitive price? I foolishly missed the offer B Gas were doing in the summer and am now looking at getting it serviced and qoutes in the region of £89. If only I had done it a few months...

Thank you very much for that info. Am going to look at the site now. !

Just found a link here to a site selling the heat and glare window film! So my question is answered! I wonder if I can get this sort of thing in B & Q? Again if anyone can recommend a particular one, I would be grateful. Thanks

Hello guys. I live in a flat with many floor to ceiling windows. On a hot sunny day it's like living in a greenhouse and can be unbearable. I have bought good quality blinds (with black out) but am wondering if there is a film that can be applied to the windows to reflect the heat...

Hello all. Just would like some info please on the newly introduced Gas Safety Record. I had my Gas Installation/Safety Record issued in March so am ok for another year on my rented property. Now a colleague of mine has just had hers inspected and has been issued the same...

It's not a flat - it's a house. I might, out of curiosity, and to satisfy you all dig out the MI, if I still have them and let you know what it says! I will have a dig around later as I might just have them - although that hob was originally fitted some 15 years ago so the rubber hosing...

Hey! And I thought us women are supposed to be worse then you guys!!! ............ LOL!!

The guy also said the hob needed changing as one ring was not working and I was well aware that the hob had been there for many years and was happy to replace, hence I went ahead and did so. I bought a Moffat simple hob from Wickes. Thanks for all the advice chaps! Sorry to have caused...

Because when I posted the question the old hob and rubber pipe were still in place! Since it failed on the Landlords certificate then I took the procedure of correcting this by buying a new hob and having the correct fittings installed. I asked the question because I wanted to know if the...

It's irrelevant now as I now have a new hob with new copper piping so am sure it's all ok now. Thanks for all your comments guys!

Well, you might not believe this but I can tell you that the guy who did it last year is apparently a teacher also in a local college and teaches some sort of Gas course - not sure what! I am horrified now! So what you are saying is this is not a new thing? That is should never have been...

Have the regulations on piping changed since last year? I have just had a Landlords Safety Gas Record done and whilst the boiler and plumbing to that passed, my hob failed on the basis that it's a rubber pipe and should now be copper. I have had this changed now with a copper pipe but...
