OK, but why would NICEIC give advice that effectively meant their 'club' members could only charge for one periodic rather than 2, I'd say this advice was to the financial detriment of their members? The electrical safety council give this advice to landlords... 'Once the necessary remedial work...

Thanks Holmslaw, though I actually disagree on your final point regarding the final certificate like an MOT. I'm not a qualified electrician but I was previously the named NICEIC supervisor for a large contractor and managed a team of electricians. I've had many discussions with the NICEIC on...

I was a new Head of asset management and I wouldn't get involved in the day to day operational details. My job was to take a strategic overview on the service and ensure systems were in place, I was immediately alarmed there was no system in place and the fact that I couldn't find installation...

Do you agree that if you have a failed periodic, the process is to address the coded failures by attaching the installation certificate to the failed periodic, there is no need to carry out another periodic that shows a 'pass'?

They were doing PIR's and lots of code 1 failures were highlighted, as you'd imagine across 6000 properties. If there had been an electrical incident and the HSE were called in then I was not comfortable with the audit trail.

My ex employer isn't a small private landlord, they're a social landlord who manage approximately six thousand properties which they inherited from the council under an large scale voluntary transfer (LSVT). I was their head of asset management.

Hi All, I'm at employment tribunal on Monday,I was dismissed for whistleblowing and my ex employer had fabricated a whole host of issues after I was dismissed. One of their claims is that I blew a situation out of proportion with regard to the administrative process for periodic inspections...

He's been, it's fixed, you were 100% right. Thanks again.

Incidentally; we've got hold of the RGI and he's coming back this afternoon. Fingers crossed!

Thanks Spraggo, that makes perfect sense to me. Its an Ideal classic, the RGI had to remove the heat exchanger from the top to get at the fan. There was a hood which was removed which has a sealing gasket round it. Could a poor seal on this hood gasket cause what you describe?

Can anyone shed any light on this please. The boiler failed yesterday and we managed to get a gas engineer yesterday who diagnosed and changed a faulty fan. The boiler started back up but appears to be 'hunting', at least this is the term I'd use, being an ex car mechanic. WE turned the boiler...

We're about to undertake a large rendering programme in an effort to increase the SAP ratings on the properties concerned. I'm currently discussing how we deal with the issue surrounding boiler flues. If we render up to the flues then there's a chance we might have to increase the length of...

Let me explain... I've already done the 4year degree course thanks but Miss Hood, our degree student actually posted the question as she has some coursework on this subject. I reckoned Shytalkz or someone equally talented could answer this question much better than I could.

I would like to know how to calculate UB sections for a beam with a UDL (fully restrained) and a beam with only a point load (only restrained at the connections) by considering bending strength and shear strength and deflection - calcultions and information

Having completed a constructionline application for a major contractor last year I can tell you that its a time consuming process involving collecting references from previous clients relating to the different types of work your business carries out. I never saw any work come our way as a result...

The landlord has taken legal advice but I'm not sure I agree with that advice. I want an opinion that balances industry expertise and working experience of the gas regs and any other laws that might come into play.

A Landlord has disconnected a tenants gas supply to one of its properties with the agreement of their tenant who continually complained of suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning and on two occasions called an ambulance. On the last occasion the tenant was found to be heating his property...

We've got one of those thanks. The question remains can anyone verify the accuracy or not of a correlator?
