Not specifically like the nhs, just that if youre not directly paying the bill you don't have any say on quality. If that contractor had to present you with a bill at the end of the job he would make sure you were happy with the service. Bg is not a utility anymore. It is as you correctly state...

Please don't paint the pipe unless you really really need to.

When something is free at point of use it's not always the best quality.

Probably a bit of left over flux. Give it a clean if you don't like the look of it.

Its not on. No one likes being the but of the joke.

So sad. He had a press gun and fittings and was clearly capable of pulling a bend. As above it's almost deliberate, a bizarre way of doing it. Perhaps he was told to only use stand off clips.

The holes are to allow gasses out during firing.

You've just got to get it moving the first tiny little bit and you're away.

Its filthy and corroded because either it got wet years ago and no one cleaned it (why would you) Or it is currently leaking and corroding (unlikely) Either way, if you're worried about it, its a communal pipe and the freeholder / landlords responsibility. If its not wet or leaking forgot about...

If its instant you may need a spark to run in a new cable. If its storage, I believe you need a g3 qualification to install (but dont need building regs sign off / self cert if under 15 litre)

Tape on thread of compression joint not needed. No tape or compound on joint to flexi with rubber washer. Before making any joint make sure you know 1. what face the sealing face is. 2. Know how the seal is made. If its not leaking - leave well alone.

577 for rad tails?

Bricks need cleaned. Hole filled. Very untidy. Any more pics, esp pipework inside

I think that is correct that tado no longer suppots open therm. Most interesting to me is his recommendation of manufacturers own controls.

This guy has a decent video on "smart" heating controls.

He'll definitely need to get someone in. Going in to that with the right attitude is important.

No. Its not because of the rads. An engineer should find it an easy fix. And stop being so mis trustful.

Yes its too high, thats why the prv is operating. Is the filling loop open?

Look up the manual for your boiler to see what the various pipes are. Sounds like the pressure relief valve is operating. If water pours out like a tap then yes, you could have wasted that much water. Get an engineer.
