Cheers flufster and clf-gas.I'll take a look at Kamco then. E-mail on the way - :o -big area though :wink:

Just looking for recommendations , which ones you guys think do the job best and most quickly and efficiently?

I have a coal effect fire , very nice nice surround but would I have another one? No, it is very inefficient and I would be surprised if it was any cheaper than coal when comparisons of the price per kw produced is used.

Thanks clf-gas, I appreciate it. I'm on the west lancs/gm border. I need to find out what I should be charging for daily and hourly rates here now. If either of you could pm me ( can we do that on this board?) I'd be grateful.

Thanks for your reply. I hadn't considered how to approach charging for different job types.

Thanks gas4you. I wouldn't be doing a powerflush, just running a cleanser through the week before . Are you in the north? also I'm not VAT reg as I have no idea whether I'll earn enough yet. :) Just don't want to sell myself short or overcharge the customer really. When you guys first...

Sorry moderator8 - I'm thought that was ok- I'm not a customer asking for a quote here, I'm an engineer who will be doing the job .

Just wondering what you old timer self employed guys charge? I'm just starting up on my own in north west england and have just got a straight combi swap. old non condensing vaillant to be replaced with worcester 37cdi, flue hole will need bricking but other than that straight forward.

thanks, Got to arrange to see an accountant but in the meantime can I work for my mate and just invoice him or will I need to get a CIS card?

I've recently started to do some work for a mate as he has got a lot on, I have set up my own company(I'm do plumbing/gas), do I just invoice my mate or am I subcontracting and do I need to contact the revenue? Bit new to all this so any help appreciated.

Thanks for the replies. Have informed the customer the valves may need replacing with appropriate fittings and will inform HSE tomorrow.

No offence taken as I may not have been clear in my post. Yes I know this is ID and is RIDDOR just with the Open pipe end ! MY question was about the valve used and what you would classify the situation as if it was not an appropriate fitting for gas(IE:bs en 331), it was not a restrictor...

Came across a RIDDOR reportable situation yesterday. Gas fire removed and electric fire installed. 10mm feed to the gas fir cut off and capped with blue fleixble plastic cap. There was a definate smell of gas in the room but an initial tightness test showed no drop. Anyway I left it on for a...

Thanks mate - you've put my mind at rest. You couldn't tell me which room stat and programmer you used with that boiler could you?

Thanks namsag

Imho Valliant are very good.

After reading the installation manual for the Worcester Highflow 440 i note that if the heating system has a volume of more than 100 litres it is going to need an extra external expansion vessel fitted. I have never installed a system this big before. Can anyone point me in the right direction...

I'm fitting a worcester highflow 440 but the customer doesn't want the mess of wiring up the standard roomstat from the boiler. I installed ones of these last year for the firm I was working for which was installed with a wireless roomstat as well as a remote control. For the life of me I...
