You seem embroiled in the sue sue sue mentallity. Try talking out an issue it's so much simpler. You know other folks are going to read this and rate you accordingly, can't see where your next job would come from if they only knew you Know how to size pipes, yes I have a method, but I...

Desparate, no, determined yes. I havent spent a lifetime in engineering instaalling steam, com air and Ind gas systems without learning a thing or 3. If it stinks like a rat theres a goo............. Why do you guys want to see this issues at an inspectorate or similar??? Cheap???? You...

the issue is resolved. The builder missinformed to the plumber, who has now redone the work.

Meanwhile back in the real world. Do I need to write this in big text so you can understand? OK; I think a mistake has been made. Please guys give me the added info to address this issue with the parties involved rather than lay them plaster over it for it to become a problem when bob the...

??????? But isn't it a better solution to approach the builder with qualifying info, (which I hoped to obtain from here), and say, look you've made an error, I have this expert opinion not just mine , please fix it???????? Come on guys be reasonable. I wonder how you so called proffesional...

HOW DO YOU FIGURE THE BUILDER IS A FRIEND

Cheers mate, I forgot to add that the boards would be glued on all edges, the jablite upstands will take car of the edge gap. I need to come clean, a builder on site suggested that intermediate battens would be a good idea? That doesn't figure with my reckoning, something that absorbs...

Well at least someone has actually taken the trouble to read the detail I gave, thanks Lgcs. I know from my ltd knowledge thst the feed was borderline as it stands. At least you seem to have grasped the fact that the plumber did not see the original pipe, only the 28mm stub off the meter...

Hi, any advice on the above please. We have a fairly large concrete slab and several box rooms off giving an area of about 10mtrs x 5mtrs. The room is ground floor and we have built over, the cieling height having been raised at this time so ideal to raise the floor and insulate. The...

Get a grip and read from the top. My suggestion is that the plumber is not aware of the loading, backtrack if you don't get it. you still appear as a total ***** and a negative on the integrety of genuine plumber/gas engineers Calling one of your fellow professionals a numpty won't get...

KEVPLUM, this one is for you, I looked back to the forum homepage, just incase I had logged in to the planet Zzarke. The mission statement reads something like this; "DIY can be both challenging and rewarding - this is where DIYnot.com aims to help. Our expert teams have brought together...

Read the 1st post again. This is to avoid having to do it all again. I have stopped the work on the pipework and plastering :roll:

Thats exacly what we are doing at present. Thank you for an intelligent reply. The brickky has a plumber mate that i talked it over with today and he said exactly the same thing, just adequte for the current boiler alone, but no way for the boiler +fire + upgrades, :D

Hmm, I get your drift but he is the guy we pay. It was only by chance I bumped into the gas guy, when he was laying the gas main and doing 1st plumbing fix. I can only address this through the main contracter, hence the advice required??

Kev your 1st comment doesn't deserve a repy, I have explained it all away, take time to go back and read again The rest of it is exactly what we are doing, I merely asked for a little help from this forum to add to my argument, judging by your comments I obviously made a mistake.

No, I did not check his card. But at the end of the day he has to certify the installation? If he isn't qualified he won't be able too, Look this builder is well known and very well recommended, he does not cut corners, I can add extra info here that really should not be needed if there was...

Ok valid point, but nobody died yet, I am trying to ensure no one does. Yes the plumber did suggest a new boiler, but this has been a massive project on our scale, and we made it very clear we would use the existing boiler which is only about 5 years old, and just capable of heating the house...

:D Thanks rojaca, but I do not see how much clearer I can make things. Look at what I said again. I think the builder has given duff info to the plummer, hence his pipe sizing. Does that make the plummer a cowboy? I don't think so. But It does give an issue I WILL SORT OUT I will redress...

OK in your order; I an trying to avoid getting ripped off, or more likely being lumbered with someone elses error, quite the opposite of wasting money I came on here suspecting it was "not right", several posters, yourself included, agreed, and more info was requested, that I've now...

Ok, the pipe from the meter is 28mm for about 1ft vertically, 90 deg elbow then is reduced (now) to 22mm. It then runs straight for about 8mtr before sweeping, (bend), down a mtr or so then through a couple of elbows into the boiler. the 1st gas fire which is non existant at present will...
