Non Gas safe gas work.

[joe-90]

I've yet to read about anybody being charged for doing 'norty' jobs if they were done right, even though they were not gas safe registered.

I can only find examples of people causing mayhem with unsafe work that get charged.

Has anyone ever been charged with doing the job right? What would the charge be?

Regardless of whether a person is gas safe or not - the manufacturer is still obligated under statutory rights to fix a faulty boiler.

That is why there is so much rogue gas work done.

So what do you lot think of that then?

I think that's why you're haunting this part of the forum joe. Making your provocative statements to try and elicit reactions from people that might help you to glean a bit more know how on how boilers work.
I bet you used to tell your dad ' I wanna be a gas safe engineer when I grow up'.
And now you've got the hump that we've got a 'secret' forum that you can't get in and read the good stuff.
So now you've given up on getting your card and you just going to go out and do it anyway....tut tut tut.

 

[joe-90]

No I don't touch boilers. I'll change pumps, 3 way valves and rads but not boilers.

I find them to be a very simple device and can't for the life of me understand why professional boiler fitters are clueless as to how they should be fixed and what is wrong with them.

Course you don't joe.

[joe-90]

I don't even fix my own.

A nurse can give pills to a patient and feed him!

But it takes a doctor who had done three years longer training to be able to diagnose the problem or a surgeon with 10 years training to do invasive operations! [/b]

 

[joe-90]

And he still charges less than a short course gas fitter.

 

[denso13]

What would the charge be?

Offences under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations and possibly the Health and Safety at Work etc

Wrong again Joe some Manufacturers will refuse to honour the warranty if the Benchmark is not complete and present and you must be Gas safe registered to complete all fields

That is only for the extended warranty. Your statutory rights cover you for the first year.

 

[denso13]

But no-one has ever been charged.

One from 2012 - R. v Jonathan (Stephen Thomas), A total sentence of two years' imprisonment imposed following guilty pleas by an offender who had exposed persons to the risk of serious injury or death by pretending to be a qualified gas fitter, and who had continued to accept jobs even after being warned not to do so by the industry regulator

 

[joe-90]

Yes I read that case but he was a complete cowboy that didn't have a clue.

 

[Dan Robinson]

Jesus - how many times can you be wrong in one day?

No Joe You are wrong, if the boiler is not installed as per the MIs then they can legally refuse any warranty, I do warranty work for 3 manufacturers and have walked away from brand new installs when representing all 3 at some time or another

 

[joe-90]

Not if the installation bears no relation to the fault. If the unit is faulty then under your rights it isn't fit for purpose.

You can't walk away from statutory rights - that's why they are on the statute books.
