Today I went to another boiler installed by an East European. When I asked if he was CORGI he said "not exactly, but he has a friend who checkes his work and he gave me the friend's number".
Well, not exactly!
He gave me the number of the firm who his friend works for!
I spoke to the office manager and she said they did not approve of their employees working "on the side". Tomorrow I will see if she wants to do anything about it!
The illegal installer had not left the AAV open so the boiler was not lighting, that simple mistake cost him ( or the householder £80 ).
Interestingly he has used coppe tube but white plastic push fit connectors. The gas pipe is soldered though!
Again another situation where CORGI will do nothing, the employer of the CORGi will do nothing either I expect !
