I agree it sounds like the engineer has caused damage unrelated to the original fault.

the appliance connection size should not be used as a guide to the systems required pipe size, the system should be designed as required.

probably did not word it that well but i did mean get an engineer to do the "work" not just check it after its done :) . I would hope any GSR engineer would not be stupid enough to just check/ commission somebody elses install but we know its done by some.

20 plus wrapps of ptfe is not uncommon with poorly made fittings and rad threads, also some ptfe tapes are alot thinner than others, for example the one with the blue outer cover which i think is eagle brand is awful tape and i refuse to use it.

was it serviced/ checked before you got the property? do you have Indemnity insurance with the purchase? you need to be a gas safe engineer to remove the case on this boiler, best get a local engineer to take a look. Water should only leave the overflow pipe at 3 bar and above assuming the...

as above, a cooker hose can be used if allowed by the manufacturer and not behind an oven. Oven will be to hot for hose. the hose will need to hang free and not be at risk of damage due to draws etc.... all in all the best solution in most cases is solid pipework. also if no oven under neath...

depends who is legally classed as the duty holder. If your working on a commerical property they should inspect and agree with your rams etc..... in domestic properties the home owners/ landlords have a duty to inform workmen about hazards like asbestos but would not be expected to check the...

the gas main into the box is the sticking point, if is a mdpe main then dig down and see if theres enough movement to move it forward. if so it should be able to be done by a gas safe engineer with a meters qualification. if the main needs altering then you will need to contact your supplier really.
