Hello gentleman. I've had a new boiler and cylinder installed. I became suspicious after a few things were done wrong - nothing serious, but silly things like wires being attached to hot pipes instead of being properly tied to the wall and also the controller was wired wrong which meant that the pump was contantly running.
Anyway, after I pointed these issues out they were resolved but as I said I became suspicious and asked to see the installer's Gas Safe card. It transpired that neither installer was Gas Safe even though they started the system and ran it for a week before their Gas Safe engineer came along and signed it off (he was Gas Safe - I saw his card).
What, if anything can I do about these people, passing themselves off as qualified and illegally installing boilers? It looks like I've got away with it but what might they do to others I'm thinking. These blokes are from Poland and their Gas Safe friend who signed it off is also Polish. Thing is the Gas Safe guy didn't do the work and came to inspect a system which the non registered guys had already connected and commissioned.
Also I bet the electrician wasn't qualified either. If I hadn't noticed, because they wired the controller up wrong the pump would still be running 24/7 and God knows what would have happened. I hate people who masquarade as qualified in a trade with potentially lethal results.
