brand new boiler, rads, all pipework..very very slow to warm rads

[Mottie]

…professional gas guy fitted 22 gas pipe feed and commisioned the boiler.

Didn’t he know how to bend pipes and solder joints? I might be wrong and talking out of me arse but that gas pipe looks a bit DIY to me. You said the plumber plumbed the rads in. Also, if the professional guy commissioned the boiler, wouldn’t it have had to be plumbed in first? Have you been issued with a gas safe certificate for the boiler installation? As I said, I know nothing about gas fitting but ignoring the heating pipes, the gas pipe installation just looks a bit messy and amateurish to my untrained eye but what the **** do I know?

No need to solder joints that gas pipework has press fittings.

Seems to have used a lot of them instead of bending/soldering. Are they expensive compared to solder fittings?

I’ve got a photo of the jungle vine mess that was in that pipe cupboard before tidied to how it looks now. Gas guy used proper crimp fittings non tamper. I think his work is good. He done all the copper and left the rest for plumber to connect too. Quite depressing
