Went to a club to price a combi swap , told them i couldnt do it and it required more work to be done on the gas and ventilation.Someones been and swapped the combi.was there yesterday and whilst having a look did a few calcs. u16 meter with about 25 to 30 m of 28mm copper to first tee.supplies about 4.5cubic m / h .seems o.k The problems are- in the next room off the same 28mm is a 300000+btu andrews heater that requires about 9 cubic m /h.Therefore at the tee to the combi you need about 12cubic m/h.Also the ventilation for the andrews is nts.The IV for the instal is well above 0.035 , so the domestic fitter shouldnt have touched it.How would you guys class and handle this situation bearing in mind i havent touched anything so probably only duty of care comes in to action.
 
The Andrews will be undergassed. If it's going to be outside its proper operating range it's AR.
 
company who fitted have been out and tested and said everything is o.k. Dont know how ?

I had to walk away from a similar job at a church hall a few weeks ago because I haven’t got the commercial ticket, but I bet the RGI that has done it or will be doing it won’t have either.

It’s a bit like my Unvented Hot Water post. This manufacturer said that whoever installs the new expansion vessels must be CORGI registered. No mention of G3, etc.
