You get flexi hoses specifically made for lpg , and connections can be " worm drive clips" which look like jubilee clips but are specified for lpg. Go to any Caravan Park and see some of the standards of workmanship there. Sadly we are now living in a society where something has to go wrong...

Did you end up having to pay out personally a large sum ? The court found against you ? My PLI has an excess of first £500 . Sounds like you were unlucky and maybe should have just let your insurance sort it . We all get set backs from time to time and wiser from the experience.

Ball o fix valves on central heating pipes are an accident waiting to happen. Burying them in the wall even worse. Condensate pipe from boiler should be inch and half outside and regs now require it to be insulated to help prevent it from freezing. I can see you falling out with the builder. Try...

Builders are not skilled plumbers, so the pipework should have been better. The extractor / vent is a lash up. Pipes need clipping by the compression elbows otherwise they will eventually push off over time. Sadly standards have slipped across all trades. Monkey see monkey do.
