Email from council. One of their chartered suveyors is coming to look at the problems on Wednesday. Anyone know how I can check his name to see if he is a qualified chartered surveyor?

Link fixed (I hope)

Update The council turned up and basically tried to give me a load of B*******t. They tried to say that considering the age of the house the new brickwork was ok. No mention or apology for the fact that their builder used an illegal gas fitter. I had noticed something before the council...

Just had a phone call from the boss of the councils building dept. He and his deputy would like to visit me next Tuesday and discuss the problems with the building work. Any advice on what to say etc would be appreciated.

Lostinfens - getting mad and ranting and raving will get me nowhere with the council. The council have a policy that says they can refuse to deal with someone that they say has made too many complaints, has made unreasonable complaints or has been in anyway that they consider to be abusive. I...

I made a complaint to the highest manager in June of 2011 when the wall was rebuilt the first time. He passed it on to his deputy who dealt with the lastest (second) rebuild of the wall Gas Safe took a report but informed me that they were not taking any action. Phoned HSE and I was told...

Update !!!!! Council finally agreed to redo the work, rebuld the outer wall and remove and restore the inner wall. The council put a tender out and picked another approved builder from their list. Work was started on Jan 3rd 2012 and finished on the 6th Jan. I had to stay with friends as...

So I have been told by other gas engineers. They say that Gas Safe are good at chasing them but not the illegal engineers.

I agree that as far as I can see the council are responsible for the builder as they appointed him and are also responsible for the people he uses. I have tried to contact the registered gas engineer and he doesn't reply. The fact that all his details, photograph etc were removed from the...

I have spoken to the HSE and they don't want to know. They say that they only investigate if Gas Safe report an engineer to them. Spoke to Trading Standards (same council). At first the chap said that he was investigating some other engineers in the area and seemed very pleased to speak to me...

Just had some grant work done by the local council which included removing the CH boiler from the wall, rebuilding the wall, and refitting the boiler. The 'gas fitter' turned up and didn't seem to know how to remove boiler. He disconnected the wrong pipes at first but finally figured it out...

I had some work done on my house recently under a grant by my local council. When I was asked to appoint a builder to do the work I said I didn't know any builders. The man from the council said he could not recommend a builder but showed me a list of builders that he said did grant work for...

Thanks Graham - I have sent message with my phone number and address.

Hi everyone. First of all let me apologise for the length of this post. If I don't give you all the information you can't make an informed comment. I had an Alpha combi boiler fitted about 2 years ago and recently I also had the outside wall of my kitchen replaced. The boiler hangs on the...
