new boiler installation story

[dontknowitall]

I'd be surprised if Gas Safe does anything about this. An inspection costs them money and they're more interested in taking it in.

I don't think I'm cynical ...

Yeah i got it in writing today. They basically say that unless theres clear evidence of breaches in safety then i should go see trading standards. There authority is limited to just gas safety.

i am still stuck on 'up the ladder while you are holding it when fitting boiler in a 'garage''...?????????????
how high is the boiler mounted?

Sorry i didnt make it quite clear on the description. The boiler is in the front bedroom and the garage is integral so the house has got an extra floor basically. Its quite high and i think its the reason i didnt get of lot of quotes through the door.

Useful gas safety contact numbers

I spoke to gas safe and told them everything i put up on here but they dont think its a breach of safety. I actually got it in writing today when i got home. They pointing me towards trading standards so i'll talk to them Monday.

Okay, this one is basically very easy,you need to go to the place were either your gasboiler or the storage tank is located and see if there is a silver flexible pipe.

I have come to this very late (been on hols) Maybe in the intrests of fairness could you
direct the fitter onto this website and this specific thread. Then he could present if he
wants to his side of things - the main point of this site should always be positive if
at all possible.

he was supposed to come today between 4 and 5pm.
Well 6pm i rang him, no answer this time. So rang the landline and spoke to the receptionist (wife i think) she was very polite and apologised for his abscense. Stuck at another job in Askham. I asked her to tell him to come monday now as its way to late to start anything.

I will consider that suggestion centralheatking but i think it might be better to do that after he's finished.
