Both pipes feeding new shower mixer are cold.

No this is the first time I have tried the hot water in the en suite since the boiler install. Yes I will get the plumber back, only problem is the ceiling where the pipe work was done has now been reinstated ‍

What a pain,but they are responsible for putting things right ,including any making good.

Yeah he will sort it no problem it’s just a bit of hassle.

Thank you for the advice people.

Think I may have found the issue - plumber hasn’t been back out yet but I’ve had a look where the cylinder used to be and the 4 x 15mm pipes are all connected together. Am I right in thinking one of these used to feed the hot water and is now connected to the cold mains supply?

Could it be my hot feed to the mixer is actually connected to both hot and cold supply now and obviously the cold mains is greater pressure so it never gets hot?

I have now fixed the problem - in the picture there is a 22mm pipe capped off, this was actually the HW feed to the en-suite mixer.

The far right 15mm is the connection back from the mixer(Hot) I have connected these together and all is now working.

Bit of a head scratcher but got there in the end.

I take it the plumber didn't like to solder?

Disgusting pipework.

I'd be seriously upset if any professional left me with pipework like that, I wouldn't leave it like that as a diy job, it's bloody poor at best

 

[DIYlife]

Yes I agree the pipe work is terrible and will be getting re done.

 

[Jurassicspark]

Not terrible.
Disgusting is the word.
