Thanks Hotrod, This was my belief also. This is how I have got caught out. The engineer was Gas Safe Registered when he fitted the fite, however it would appear from Gas Safe that he did not notify them of the work, hence the fact that they have not issued the Certificate required, as...

Thanks Jeds, My understanding was that any flued appliance had to be notified to B/C, and that he should have notified it. You say Certificates only last a year, does that mean then that B/C are only interested in the safety aspect, and not how it was installed? I will be getting it...

No, it is not a rented property, it is just that we are hoping to sell up next year, and I am trying to get the paperwork sorted out, so that in the event we do sell, we have got everything needed. Thanks everyone for your replies.

Hi, thanks for the reply. I have done a bit more checking on this, and have spoken to GSR today. They have advise me he was registered at the time he fit my fire, and that he was qualified to do so. However they have advised that his registration has now lapsed (could not tell me when as...

Hi, I wonder if anyone can help with a query I have please. I had a new balanced flue gas fire fitted in February this year. The installer was on the Gas Safe Register. He did a good job, and gave us a "Gas Safety Record, duly completed with all the details, and his reg. no. I expected...

Thanks for the reply. The property is a 1950's bungalow, and there are no restraining straps at all. The exising ceiling joists are fixed to the rafters, and the new floor joists are also attached to the rafters, which were strengthened for the loft conversion, so yes it is triangulated...

Hi, Wonder if anyone can give me some advice. Doing a loft conversion, and am at the drainage stage. I need to get the soil pipe from the loft to outside. I am thinking of putting a bend on it to get it through the rafters over wallplate and down the outside wall. My problem is...

Hi, this is to Milleniumaire Thanks for the details of your system, it sounds very similar to the system I would like, but I am having difficulty finding someone in our location which fits Vailant systems. Would you be able to let me know if the person who fitted your system also covers the...

Many thanks for the replies. Sorry about the water pressure mistake. I know it is the flow rate - sorry. (just upgraded to 25mm mdpe water pipe, so I know the flow is ok The way things are going, we will probably look towards the Vaillant ecotec 630 system. Thanks.

Hi, I am in a similar situation, and any help would be appreciated, I have a 4 bed 2bath & 1 ensuite. I am looking for a system boiler and unvented cylinder - have had quotes which all vary by quite a lot. I am torn between a Worcester Bosch 30cdi boiler & unvented cylinder, or a Vailant...

Many thanks, could you confirm I have to use gun metal, would brass not be ok to use, or would it corrode? What about a plastic push fit mdpe stop tap, would that be ok - thanks in advance

Hi, Many thanks for your speedy response. I have looked at the poly stop tap, but cannot find out whether it is ok to use underground. Do you know whether this is ok or not. I thought they were only to be used indoors. Perhaps you could correct me if I am wrong.

Hi all, Could anyone give me any helpl. My property's main water supply pipe goes across a farmers private road, to the other side, and my external stop tap is on the far side of the private road. I am needing to upgrade this pipe from at present 15mm copper pipe to 25mm MDPE blue pipe...
