I am sorry for jumping on the band wagon, but I agree totally here. My next door neighbour had a nightmare with is recent combi installation, he is a registered builder also, so its not just innocent OAP's getting the brunt of rough work. He showed me around after the job was done, I know speed...

Just an odd question thats all, and he is not my pal. I will contact them tomorrow about my problem, assuming they are not working at the weekend as my problem is not an emergency. And why that would make him a cowboy is beyond me. My description of a cowboy maybe different to yours but in...

Scratches head, hmmmm

Approx 36 hours ago, give or take a few hours

Sorry if my post was misleading, but yes, I bought is off a BG engineer who had fitted it 7 yrs previously and removed it for sale. Andy

Yep, the guy fitted it approx 7 yrs ago, apparently it was liquidation stock and just bought as a job lot. installed and the rest is history. Andy

Yes it may be old (in fact 7 yrs old) but its not dangerous, how can it be, its probably in a quarter of houses in the UK right now. Someone has decided its not energy efficient for todays requirements, not energy efficient does not mean dangerous! I see your main arguments are for the guys...

lol

Yeah the clock may also be an issue, probably best we get a new one anyway, any ideas? If the boiler is kicking in when not switched on at the clock it looks like its to do with the wiring, will get him back asap to check and give us a price on a new clock. Thanks Andy

Well to be honest I was a tad jubious about getting 2nd hand, also not knowing alot about baxi back boilers etc. But wifey insisted we go down this route 1st and if it fails we haven't lost a packet, but if it works ok then we have saved a fortune. Like I say everything works fine, only that...

Whatever pal, I wouldn't expect any sort of valid reply to my thread coming from you, if thats your idea of of one.

I have never been complacent when it comes to gas, and don't risk anything to do with it, so don't even go to the funeral bit. You guys are acting like I just got off the banana boat (oops racism) and found some pipe on the beach! I know the laws on energy efficiency and all that, lets just...

You cant be serious when you say I am asking for free information? I didn't say you were all robbers, and this is not how I carry out my business, you really have a problem dont you, you just cannot bring yourself to help someone can you? I would seriously doubt that the 'working folk' would...

What do you think I have done, fitted it myself and asked you what went wrong? I haven't even had the bill yet, ffs get off my case! The system has been fitted by registered gas safe and corgi registered plumbers, what do think I should do, erm this is getting silly! Ediit, ah I see your...

OK I am assuming you are, have been or know someone associated with plumbing, I dont really care, you attitude stinks, and you remind me of people in my book to knock off my xmas card list. I don't ask for free help, the guys around me in the building trade offer 'free' help and advice. I...

Hi m8, only valves I think I have are in my 1st post pic, I was thinking maybe it was something to do with the wiring but lots of things come to mind in this scenario. Cheers Andy

Erm exactly my point, why not just pay a gas safe plumber 4 grand and just put a combi in, oh yeah, I forgot, my last cowboy job paid for that! I forgot to tie up my horse and now I have to skimp and save a little to pay for it! Sorry m8, I don't cut corners, I just refuse to pay extortionate...

Hi, If the wall is bowed in the middle and you have a gap, you will need to cut the units at both ends of the wall so that when you cut the worktop to fit, the front will be the same all along. Its not really a case of getting a wider worktop, this just defeats the object (although it would...

Hi, the fitting of the base units are very important to the outcome of the worktop etc... When I start to fit a kitchen, the 1st thing I do is find the highest point of the floor level, then level round the room from that (this is only encase you have an appliance located at the highest point)...

I have just done a kitchen and utility where the worktop joint was out of square by 10mm(U shaped kitchen) I had a successful joint on both counts, after cutting both joints (male & female) 5mm off the original Jig. It is possible to do almost anything regarding this subject but be sure to sit...
