Have a browse of this - Work carried out by a builder.

One of the customers on contract with my work, down in Swansea. They called Wales&West Utilities as the CO alarm was going off. They capped the gas off to the property and said to get some one in, so they called us as they were insured.

All going through the HSE now.

The picture is off Gas Engineers facebook page, but there is a different picture we had in our toolbox talk, where they had removed the bricks, and put another kitchen cupboard unit on the one there. So someone had seen it, taken a picture and not done anything about it?!

No no, they replaced the bricks with the combustable kitchen unit.

Absolutely crazy some of the stuff people do! Some right shockers on the Facebook page, you should check it out https://www.************/gasengineersuk

I had a basin removed and my builder capped the pipes and plastered them into the cavity wall. If I want to resurrect them can I do that to plumb a washing machine into a new ‘utility’ area next to the pipes? My assumption is there will be a cold water pipe, hot water pipe and a waste pipe in...
