Can someone please help me and tell me if my heating system has been installed correctly which has only just been fitted.
First of all I live in a 1 bedroom flat and has just been fitted with combi valliant pro boiler with all radiators fitted in every room except my small hall way which has the room stat fitted. All radiators are fitted with TRV,s except the radiator fitted in the living room. The Room stat has been fitted to my small hallway which leads onto the front door and in turn leads to a stairway leading down to the block of flats main door.
Now to the technical bit and hope I quote my friend correctly who says that:
The rad fitted in the living room with no TRV seems to be the last one in the system and is considered to be the by pass radiator and should be fitted in the same room as the stat, which in this case is the hall.
The hall is not fitted with a radiator and my friend says breaks Part L regs, whatever that is?
The hallway is small and the only sized radiator that can be fitted is approx 200mm allowing for pipe work and valves can be fitted but was informed by the original fitter that they did not make radiators that small but I am sure some manufacture must make them even if it’s a special order?
Does anyone know if stelrad do a radiator that size and if so how do I get one and more importantly if this has been installed all wrong do I convince the installer this is the case and get him to come back?
Has he broken Part L Regs and if he refuses to come back to rectify the mistakes is there a complaints procedure that I can take in contacting the body that run Part L?
Many thanks in advance
