Afternoon all, After a quick bit of advice deciding whether to complain to British Gas or not. My grandmother had a visit from on of BG's smart meter 'experts' for her install. The installer noticed a grubby mark on the wall next to the boiler and categorised it as a sign of spillage told my...

Just pulled down ceiling plasterboard in basement and found two different gas supply pipes, each routed in steel and each connected to its own shut off on the pavement outside. One supply is disconnected / unused, goes no where and is terminated with a tap. The other may go to another property...

I am in the process of moving some mains cold water pipework in my house which will make it pass through a concrete floor. There is a copper gas pipe which was disconnected last year that runs through the concrete. On the face of it, this may seem like a silly question, but is there any reason...

Hi, We bought a new Barratt Home in 2007 and haven't modified the boiler or its boxing since then however today an engineer has refused to service it saying its boxing and exposed pipe is illegal (boxing above boiler and pipe to side - photo attached). The boiler has been serviced each year...

Hello all, I currently am trying to improve the thermal efficiency and comfort level in our our 1920's end terrace. The main issue in our living room is the draught up the chimney. We currently have a high power output open gas fire. However this is useless as the draught up the chimney sucks...

I have been trying to get hold of the building regulations compliance certificate of the boiler installer. I also have a problem in that the installation benchmark form has not been filled out. The boiler was installed from the previous house owner in 2014. After tracking down the installer they...

I had a dripping water pipe. It was in a cramped space, so I needed to temporarily remove an adjacent pipe to adjust it. The next-door pipe looked exactly the same - however, when I loosened the isolator-valve connector, it was obvious it was a gas pipe, not a water pipe. I quickly tightened...

I don't need a gas fire as I have a lovely log burner, but was just wondering how many gas fires on the market support conventional hard wired thermostats as in the type you use with central heating systems? All of the gas fires I have had a previous places I have lived have been very basic...

I am looking at a 12Kw FireFly gas patio heater from Primrose, and just wondering how long will they run for on average based on a Full 13KG Propane bottle with a 12Kw burner on it's highest setting? How does the efficiency compare electric patio heaters? Reagrds: Elliott.

My son has just brought a flat with a recently refurbished kitchen and I noticed that the gas hob has been connected using one of those short lengths of bendy (corrugated ) copper pipes between the hob connection and a gas isolation valve. The installation looks quite neat and professional, with...

Before we bought our new place we were renting. We had asked the landlord permission to drill above the fireplace to hang a mirror; it was his old house and we were on good terms with him so no problem. Well, that's what I thought. Measured up where we needed to put the two screws. It was a...

Hi. New member here. I bought a flat last year, in a converted pub on a very long lease. The developer went bust and the conversion was finished by contractors working for the new freeholders - a firm of solicitors. The development began in 2015. The main pub building has been split into three...

I've got a prime case of Gas Safe pointing to Building Regs and Building Regs pointing to Gas Safe. And a gas fitter (and me) stuck in the middle. I have a domestic combi boiler, fitted donkey's years ago. The flue went out through our wall that is alongside the neighbour's garden. It vents...

have a dated gas boiler, which heats the central heating AND hot water (works fine BTW). Unfortunately the flue exits approx. waist height, straight out into the path of my workshop door. Sending hot air (not a bad thing when its cold) and fumes (not a good thing at all!) when it kicks in early...

Hi , Can someone help me with my main Medway super. The problem is that I had a water leak which I've fixed by putting a new push rod O ring. But now I'm having another problem with a small gas leak just under the burner where the pin is , it lights up when the pilot is on and causes a small...
