Transam has a problem with just ONE manufacturer's engineer who is slightly odd as I might put it.
Joe, I think you are rather missing the point. The regulations state that the pressure loss in the gas pipe should not exceed 1.0 mB.
If its more than 1.0 mB then it does not meet the regulations. BUT the boiler will most likely STILL work fine!
Its normal in my view for an independent service agent to give you his card. Thats not because he wants to upgrade the gas supply because if the RGI has done it wrong then its his responsible for correcting it. The service engineer gives you his card to identify himself and to enable you to contact him with any further queries.
Yesterday I went to set up a boiler which had been serviced by another firm and was not working properly since. Two engineers has spent over TWO hours there, could not set the boiler properly and had it giving 155 ppm of CO. They then said they would have to condemn the boiler and leave it of. They charged £100 !
The owner called me and within 10 min I had set it so it gave just 38 ppm. It was slightly more difficult to set up than most because the gas pipe was rather undersized and the meter govenor was a little unstable.
In spite of all you have said Joe, you have never quoted what the actual pressure loss on your gas supply really is.
