What I meant was fitters dont get away with it on any contracts I am on, we have every job inspected by our own company and then by the initial company themselves.
But the difference is our work is surveyed properly in the first place, if you know what problems wil arise then you can rectify before it does, hence 28mm pipe on most of our jobs.
Its that initial survey that counts a lot I reckon, if you have the parts there and the knowledge that your work is gonna be checked twice, then believe me you do a good job and make sure its to ALL reg's.
I used to subby to a company doing all there surveys and inspections, I saw at least a dozen teams sacked in 12 months, I would put down x amount of 28mm gas due to boiler, pipe run and other appliances. Only to find that on the inspection after the work had been completed there was a 3mb drop on working pressure and no 28mm fitted, it had all been scrapped. Fitters reckoned it didnt need it when I asked so they were made to go back buy the 28mm themselves, fit it in there own time and when it was done, sack them. Poor workmanship is only going to lead to loosing contracts.
