er yeh, thats all covered under his "obligation" to report it to the customer the customer can then get the work done, or not.

do you think before you type or just type whatever pops into your head?

im saying ive seen this happen,

me too, wheres the problem if the guy informed the customer?

 

[Deleted 98600]

but he said nothing to the customer

Firstly how do you know he didn`t inform the customer.
Also how do we know the person who said it has to be sleeved knows what they are looking at

So answer my question what reg has he broke by not changing it

but he said nothing to the customer

yes i realise according to the OP he didnt mention it, i meant in general.

It would be good practice to sleeve he old work, and certainly sensoib;le to note the NCS. But, I don't beleive that strictly speaking the last fitter can be accused of anything.

It is interesting that the OP KNEW about the missing sleeve, but failed to mnention it to thge new fitter. He clearly kept his mouth shut in order to get the fitter to replace it free.

I have an external gas meter fitted but the gas pipe through the wall was not sleaved.

II have been told he should have sleaved the gas pipe as he cannot creat a not to current standard.

The new fitter DIDN'T create the NCS, it was already there

Of course this is a two year old discussion.

Hopefully by now the OP will either have accepted its not quite right or have paid someone to correct it.

So tell me mrrivaz what reg has the guy broke.
We are not there to correct existing NCS .
Do you take a balanced flue boiler boiler off the wall and reposition it if it doesn`t meet current regs.
Do you renew a open flue if it has a bend within 600mm NO because there is no reg telling you too.

u have at least an obligation to advise the customer

thats not what you said in your last post, so you have changed your mind or realised you are talking sh1t, how can we PROVE he didnt advise the customer of the NCS, over to you MrRivaz.

I can't believe I restarted this thread. I don't know how I wandered into it! I can't even blame being down the pub
