Currently we have a company installing new gas supply pipes in our street. As I understand it, this involves inserting poly pipes inside the existing metallic pipes. This also includes the pipes to our homes, they are also replacing the gas on/off valve in the house.
We have had no notification or details of the actual work they are carrying out or that they needed access to our property - luckily (or not) my in-laws were taking some shopping in to our house and spoke to the 'workers'. The workers on-site seem less than professional so I have little confidence in them.
As this work involves gas and replacement of components should I expect some documentation to show that the work has been performed to a specified standard and that safety checks have been performed and passed?
This especially concerns me given recent legislation regarding work in homes having to be completed by a competent person and having the appropriate paperwork to prove this.
I have searched the Internet but can not find any answer to this, I rang the company 0830 Tuesday (4th) and am still waiting for a return call so that "a manager can explain".
I would be grateful if anyone can shed any light on this.
