I am a customer having issues with a contractor supplied Wickes bathroom install and just getting a few of my points together when the area manager arrives tomorrow. A few plumbing issues are:
The hot water is via a gravity fed stored hot water tank. System boiler in the loft. Bathroom on first floor, Stored hot water tank on same floor, cold tank one floor up in loft.
Should they of fit full bore isolation valves. The hot water in the bathroom was never that great. And will now be using waterfall taps. The valves they have fitted look standard restrictive?
Should I be asking for a swap? I am assuming the arrow should be correct direction as well? Also other pic shows they added a iso valve to the WC inlet pipe. The pipe has quite a bit of play. Potential water hammer? Should they of removed the gate, full ball lever valve and clipped to wall?
Tiler removed old central heating towel rail. They didn't have to drain rad. Previously it had two isolation valves where the black tape is on pic. Is it likely if he didn't touch heating that he closed valves and simply removed. I am assuming if the iso valves are now half buried under the FFL its a bit of a cock up. I seem to remember iso valves are not rated to heating temps and will almost likely leak once tampered. Should he of drained system, removed valve, soldered new pipe and away from wall. Yes its all cowboy I know. He didn't even install a trap on the bath.
Thanks
