A lot neater than my soldering :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Please don't use the term 'heating engineer' when referring to the rough a s s cowboy you were unlucky enough to cross paths with. He brings our trade into disrepute..

Besides, regs say you're supposed to seal the inside with a non setting mastic. Not empty a tube of silicone everywhere outside!! The guy who fitted it is a cowboy, end of.

I Had a guy work for me, told me he was qualified. On the very first day, the way he soldered, I had to ask where he'd studied. Yup 6 week course! :confused: Only positive I can see is, give it 5 years and we'll be taking our pick of which ba lls up to rip out and sort first :D

Flue collars are the wrong way to! That has to be the worst I've seen for a while, sorry you got ripped off!! And a worcester to boot! Good luck with it. Plumbers/ gas fitters on this thread, is this the consequence of 6 week courses for anyone with enough £££. If this is the way it's going...

Either or, as long as it's the Pb pipe it's easier to work with? I was using S/F because that's what my supplier carried i stock. Now I'm using uponor Q&E shrink fit pipe..... but I'm a bit weird :lol: :lol: Look it up if you're doing a lot of plastic plumbing :wink:

http://www.screwfix.com/p/flomasta-central-heating-pump-a-rated-230v/77771 I've used these a few times, where customer is on more of a budget. Not had a problem yet :D Def. drain down and replaced the pump valves. Those ones there now are pants.

As said, don't cut 2" into the wall :lol: :lol: :lol: YEEHAAA! I would raise it and box the pipe personally :)

:shock: :shock: Bloody hell I'd be getting him back, solid fuel sealed is a big no! If it were me, Id have flow and return from stove to store, open vent from store to F&E tank. Then a flow out of the thermal store with a pump, after pump 2/3 zone valves 1/2 for rads (2if you want to zone...

To me that system is completely wrong, the boiler should be feeding the accumulator, its solid fuel so should be gravity fed I'd say. Then from the accumulator to the h/w cylinder and the rads. These would be pumped, and controlled by zone vales. Solid fuel cant be controlled very well so...

The whole drawings wrong???

Whats the edf bill for? gas or electric?

Ye, Id rather the hot water here as well rouge :lol:

If your handy and have high standards, stop leaning on the shovel and do some digging :) :lol:

No, I don't. I walk around with a pipe bender and a blow lamp fitting heating systems/ plumbing houses for a living. Took me 4 years of crap wages to train with my father and uncle. I charge hundreds a day now for my skill, and people are happy. Been in business a while, long enough to smell an...

Jesus you sound a right k n o b, you probably wont pay for real tradesmen, so get the 'qualified' chancers. Then you do their heads in being a k n o b, and so results your overall experience with the trades.

I have done it once before now and the shower was absolutely fine :D

£140 a day in London, must be a cash 'hobble' as we say in Wales. I live in quite a poor area an I charge more than that.... As a confirmation that cheap isn't always best, I had some of my work given away in November as the customer didn't have the patience to wait for me, so I ended up...

Go to plumb center and ask for a center brand r/f programmable thermostat 5/2 or 7 day programme and it'll be the same as now, turn up in off period and the heat will come one :D .......... Also look at Baxi/Ideal, sod WB! :lol:
