What do you do when...

[Knappers]

What would you do if you put in a new 28mm supply in 1st fix and when you come back for the boiler you find the 'electrician' has done this....

 

[Last Plumber]

I would tell the customer that the electricians installation is not compliant with regulations and he/she should return to correct it. Log it on a written warning notice, get the customer to sign it and carry on with your work.

Sparky will be whingeing that the pipes in a cable zone.

i'd be tempted to cut the cables.

What a MUPPET.

 

[Knappers]

I agreed to do the boiler only and someone else was doing the other plumbing. They've let him down and now he's trying to get me to do it.
I'm not touching it!
Apart from anything else the place is a mess with building materials spread everywhere, all the work is being done cheaply.
Was tempted to put a price in but with half the pipes already run and no lights or heat I'm just going to pass.
I know I'd end up regretting it as any price I'd quote would mean they'd expect the world in return.

The pipe was there in 22 before. This job was a dud from the start.
35kw Main boiler on site before I started with horizontal flue.
Would have got away with 22mm if he'd got a 30Kw, would have benefited from rear piping on a baxi and flue going through roof vertically.
This is a perfect example for why you get the engineer to spec the parts and materials as he's saved no money and lost on aesthetic and warranty.
It was a favour just for me to do the boiler!

My first thought was get the cutters out.

Once spent a day drilling joists for a first fix. Heating flow and return, hot water, cold water, balanced cold water and unvented discharge. Was a big job. I was away 3 days after that and came back to cables in my holes.
Sparky came back next day to 400mm lengths of cable all over the floor.

I’ve had the opposite when a plumber used my holes. Never again did I drill holes and not run cables the same day

Cable service don’t appear fixed, charge extra for supply and fit talon cover, or get it boxed in with ventilation if required?

If it doesn’t owe you any money, walk away from this job - sounds a pain all around.
