I didn't check his credentials, but his warning certificate has his Gas Safe number on it. I gave Gas Safe his credentials so its up to them where they go with that, all that they said to me was that they could not comment on installations, and that the manufacturers are the only people who can...

Just an update. I have sent three emails to Vaillant with pics asking them whether the flue is legit or not but not yet received a reply. It has been installed horizontally as per the manual and has never failed a check so I am assuming it is ok. Sent the same pics to Gas Safe. They aren't...

I wouldn't but some might. The work that apparently needs doing is minor, especially for someone in the trade. Just two grommets, chisel away a few mm of brickwork, and install a fuse. As long as he is made aware, which he will be, I have been transparent and the contracts can be exchanged.

Why, why, why did you commission a gas safety check? When selling a house it is up to the buyer to commission surveys, safety checks etc at his/her expense. Just found out that the buyer just wanted the boiler serviced, not safety checked, garbled message from the estate agent a week ago. The...

Its a brass valve, and can only have been fitted in 2009/10 when the property was built. I took a look at the Vaillant flue installation instructions. The air/flue pipes of the horizontal wall penetration are not concentric. With the wall penetration fitted horizontally, the flue pipe slopes...

That was my original plan, snag is due to the aborted house sale 2 years ago, the certificate is with solicitors hundreds of miles away, and they haven't sent me a copy so that I can get the details. I got fed up waiting so chose another local firm at random. I happen to have a friend who is an...

Thanks for the response. Its a Vaillant Ecotec Pro24, top flue exit, (I understand the pipe is angled to something around 89%) then straight through a wall and vents outside, no extension pieces it's about as short a run as could be. He was placing a level on the internal bracket and saying it...

First post, and treading warily... Selling my place and have been asked for a Gas Safety certificate. Not a problem. House built 2010. So installation was signed off at that point. Then rented out, so landlord certificates would have been done. I purchased 2013. Another check done. Passed...
