Can I claim this back from Transco?

Sealing discs, suitable for cutting off the supply, cost less than 40p including the rubber washer.
I take out as many as I put in, so the stock stays about constant!

This is really basic and as an industry it is embarrassing some of the answers that have been given especially what the first guy done.

At least once a week one of my transco mates gets a job for a passing main tap because gauge is slowly rising..... Blocked pressure nipple.

Then there is the pressure is far too high because i turned main tap on and it blows the water out out my gauge.
Some of the things they are called out for makes you wonder about the standard of exams and the standard of corgi

you (I) learn something every day, one to remember

There is always a cap thingy in a gas meter cupboard

Used to laugh when working on rough estates and would get a knock on van window ."excuse me mate you haven`t got a tap washer this size have you" .They would then show you a meter washer.
Laugh at them and say leave your meter alone you will blow yourself up "AH right ok catch you later" as they wandered off

Mine supply me with rubber washers, disc's, emergency labels, replacement catches and ecv handles and split pins, in fact anything I can think to ask for.

Most are a great bunch of lads

 

[chrishutt]

Mine supply me with ...anything I can think to ask for.

Governor seals?

Why bother nobody checks them and nothing is said if missing unlike leccy meters.

Question gold star for correct answer. Domestic meter washers come in 2 sizes 5 and 10. What do these sizes relate to.. F##k i`m sounding like gasguru.

 

[gas4you]

Not the seals, but whats to stop you adjusting them yourself then booking them in on the 21 day appointment.

Otherwise I just call them in as a pressure problem.

Agree to pay the cost of the gas safety record and no more....let him take you to the small claims court.

He's unaware of the correct procedures and ripping you off, all he had to do was seal the meter, issue the warning notice and get the job number and then go to the next job, he could then pop back to re-connect/check working pressures etc.

Any decent installer would recognise a new valued customer and not take the p*ss. Afterall he knows your're a landlord and there's everychance of getting the gas safety record the following years (that will take considerably less time).

I've had some pressure problems that involed half the local GT team and taken a week to resolve (100m new service req.) - now that would be a nice earner, sitting at the customers house drinking tea for a week.

5 light and 10 light,

 

[ChrisR]

Damn, he got in first. I knew that! Though exactly why it's 5 and 10 for 3/4 and 1,......?

Didn't know this though:
job for a passing main tap because gauge is slowly rising..... Blocked pressure nipple.

So I'll add it to the lessons!.
We DO teach to undo ecv union and direct test with fluid to confirm let-by.
