There's no risk of me letting anyone touching my boiler etc. without a Gas Safe card, don't worry on that score. I have learnt a lesson there. Gas Safe have called me back. They are taking no more action for now because there are 15 registered engineers with the same name and I don't have...

I'm told the plumber has left the building. I'm told he says everything he did is correct and safe, though he hasn't been able to test the hot water because of something the electrician has done (or not done) apparently. The builder is getting someone else to come and have a look. I will...

Update: I've had a full and frank exchange of views with the builder. I have stated that is my opinion that by employing this plumber he is playing games with my life and that of my family. I have assured the builder that while previously I was somewhat concerned I am now absolutely f*ing...

I dropped into the house on the way to work this morning. I do hope you're sitting down. I think he's connected the expansion vessel to the balanced cold port. Which as I read the instructions is the wrong side of the non-return valve in the combined group. Meaning I think I...

After I raised a number of concerns with teh builder and plumber about the initial install, the plumber 'fixed' it.<br>This is pictures of the supposedly fixed installation

Will a Gas Safe inspector look at the unvented cylinder install as well, or just the boiler install? I haven't spoken to them yet, and I'm not going to get an opportunity tomorrow, but it's high on my list of things to do for Wednesday!

We've already agreed no more payments on anything plumbing-related until everything is right to the satisfaction of a third party appointed by me. Also, that if there's any opening up to be done that it will be done and made good without additional charge. I'm a bit nervous of insisting the...

I'm not particularly inclined to defend him, but I'm pretty sure that he simply didn't believe it was a safety release valve. I don't know what he thinks it is but when I said it was a safety release valve he kept pointing at the P&T valve directly on the cylinder and saying that was the...

Will that trouble them? I haven't done a rigorous ID and competence check on every person the builder has appointed. As it happens, I do know the name of the main electrician and the plumber, but I trusted the builder to appoint competent sub-contractors. Do the regulations make it an...

My thoughts exactly. I said I didn't want to tell him how and where to put each component because I'm not a professional competent person, that's what he is supposed to be. He didn't much like that comment. I've told the builder I don't consider the plumber to be competent and won't be...

Had my 'discussion' with the plumber. He's highly offended - he says he's installed hundreds and no-one has questioned what he's done before. He said it was complete, it was perfectly safe and there was nothing wrong. I listed things I thought wrong in the cupboard - expansion vessel...

So have I got this right: 1: You definitely needs to be gas safe registered to be paid to do stuff to the gas pipe to the boiler and the boiler itself. It's illegal to do work for paying clients if you're not. 2: You need to be 'competent' to install unvented cylinder legally, but there's...

It is a 'GREENSTAR 30 CDi CLASSIC SYSTEM' on natural gas. It is in a two-heating-zone plus hot water setup (s-plan plus?). It does not have the optional internal diverter valve. The installation, commissioning and servicing instructions refer to the presence of an internal bypass, but the...
