    Worried about my plumbers competence

    I've been told it's complete. The heating had been running (at a low level) for a week or two until I queried why the pump never stops and then it was shut down. I'm not sure if the cylinder has been heated up, though. I've just got the bill for extras. I was charged about £100 for the...

    Worried about my plumbers competence

    I have arranged with the builder to discuss matters with the plumber tomorrow. I have been down today and tried to untangle and draw the installation I have in the cupboard. I'd be very grateful if any of you helpful people can identify any further faults. The trouble with this, is I don't...

    Worried about my plumbers competence

    OK. What I don't understand is that the diagram in the gledhill instructions implies four pipes emerging from what it calls the combination inlet group, but I can only see two in what I have - ie no 'balance cold take off point' and no 'expansion vessel connection point', unless they are round...

    Worried about my plumbers competence

    Pressure vessel is the white one that's up high in the cupboard, yes? It has a braided hose and connects onto the very top of the pipe that I believe is hot outlet (connects to one to the top of the cylinder). I don't have a good picture, but I have this (I was really photographing the...

    Worried about my plumbers competence

    I've double-checked the cupboard. It is 1200 wide and 850 front-back internal floor dimensions. Ceiling is about 2450 high. The doorway is about 1100 wide and normal door (6' 6") height. I've been at the house today and discussed with the builder, with the ability now to point at the...

    Worried about my plumbers competence

    I'm very happy with the builder. I'm happy with the electrician and the computer cabling (also appointed by the builder). I'm becoming ever less happy with the plumber the more this thread goes on. I don't have a 'finished' whole-cupboard view, but there's this from part-way through. The...

    Worried about my plumbers competence

    Is there a 'not' missing there? There's not much more to show of the condensate pipe - at the outside at the moment there's just 100mm of pipe sticking straight out from the wall and dripping on the patio. He says he's going to run it down to ground (which is 300mm or so below floor level...
