@Harvest Fields Did you say another 100 or 100 in total?

With what mate?

This doesn’t sound like an opinion mate. It sounds like standard practice.

True it is standard practice but in Germany and not here in uk. I just stated few things how we do it in Germany I don’t think it’s wrong to mention some facts. You don’t seem like you like Germany

@Matchless.plumb , are there any unknown good German boilers that we don’t know of?

I guess you know the most common Vaillant, Junkers/Worcester Bosch, viessmann, brötje, weisshaupt etc.. Vaillant has a lot of other gas storage boilers which are well designed for much higher hot water demand.

Nothing against Germany mate. It helped make England strong before we were properly part of the E.U. At my moms house I am allowed to walk around in just my pants. Does that mean I can do it everywhere else?

On open forum I would be like you mate not all the things which we are allowed to do are the rights things to do. Regulations both in Germany and England could be still improved.

Does Germany have an equivalent to gas safe?

It is slightly different compared to uk. Most people works for companies rather than being self employed. You will need a master degree to be able to run an own business. However, each company and installer needs to be registered though.

Let’s get this right, you need a masters degree to start any business up?

Did the engineer check the connection at the gas hob? 9 out of 10 leaks I go to ends up being under gas hob on compression fittings.

Yes, if you want to work for yourself. It is not as simple like calling a company and getting self employed. You will need to hold a degree and that cost 12-15k

Seriously? I was surprised at your assertion, so did a bit if Googling. I can find no reference to support your statement. Even this does nit mention it:

So if in that situation, you had a 3mbar drop on a g4 metre, your conscience gets the better of you and you decide to investigate. You isolate the appliances and prove the pipework is sound. You then test each appliance individually and find the gas valve on the fire is passing. What then? Do you leave it or have to condem it?

Once you have gone down that route thats it. I had a gas sqfe routine inspection not long ago and I had a 0.5 drop on the job he came out to. The gas safe guy confirmed no smell of gas on existing install its a pass. If I had decided to isolate appliances I would be obliged to find it.

It depends on the job doesn’t it. In regards to a plumber you cannot run a company without having the degree.

Is it a degree in plumbing or any degree?

Strictly plumbing, gas,oil, solar, heat pumps, literally everything about plumbing and heating

Ah. So now it is a Degree, not a Masters. And only certain business'?
TBH, I am still not convinced.. This mentions what is required, and mentions plumbing. Nowhere does it mention degrees:
