Ok but if they didnt test either b4 or after the additional pipework or hadnt noted a drop and i come to issue the cert i suppose i would class that as existing because i havent worked on it. The additional pipework would have been down to them to test and nothing to do with me.
Exactly, if you have just fitted it it's new, anything else is existing, to the letter of the law if you fit a new boiler and cooker on the Monday and for whatever reason I'm back on the Tuesday to move the cooker 400mm to the left, I do a TT and find a 2mb drop I could leave it as it's existing with existing appliances, however this is where real common sense comes in, I COULD leave a drop but I wouldn't, because it's obvious that something is wrong, the reason for the permissable drop is because of microscopic leaks in the gas valves and controls etc, so as they are existing I could leave them, but within 24hrs it's impossible for a wear and tear leak to appear, so I know there is something needing attended to,
