Sorry love but the heating doesn't conform to any kind of regs and the bodger who had the house previous has made all the radiators rot. It'll need ripping out, so ask for 10k off the asking price.

What's the relevance?

 

[Barry98]

Am sure the faults will become apparent when you do the second fix and test fella

 

[Dannyparty92]

Very nice Richard.

 

[b.lynch plum]

Pat on the back mate hope this makes you feel better lol

 

[Richard at Home]

The extention is finished and fully passed off.

 

[Richard at Home]

From the comments of not using plastic pipe work

 

[Rickster123]

Are you boxing all that plastic pipe work in?

 

[dancinplumba]

you say extention an i say extension......lets call the whole thing off.

 

[lame plumber]

Hope you carried out a full pressure test on all the plastic 15mm to ensure the manufacturers warranty is applicable in the future.

i love the flexy that just reaches the bath

 

[Koogatubac]

Sorry richard but that pipework is unbelievably rough!!!
That basin waste is sooo high! U wont be able to box that in!!
I wouldnt have any of that in my house.

Sorry just saying what everyone is thinking...

Least you've put a batten underneath the bath for support

 

[smtplumbing]

o and the waste run on the basin waste

 

[ecowarm]

My first post on this thread, and a word of warning Richard!!! All the electrical components on a heating system must be isolated at one point. It is not acceptable to have seperate parts on separate fused spares i.e time clock and 2 port on a completly separate circuit to any other part of the system. Think about it, some comes to work on the system and isolates the system by the fused spare at the boiler and the starts working on the system?????????

I assume your engineering course didnt explain self cleaning gradients

 

[stevetheplumber]

Why the four bends on the waste ? Expansion loop?

 

[Koogatubac]

Does your basin waste in your bathroom just go in your bath trap?
Hard to see from pictures

black spot for clogging

 

[dancinplumba]

this reminds me.....don't enter job of the month :-(

 

[Richard at Home]

This is the bathroom looks now it is finished

I do not have a picture of the boxing around the waste pipe but it is fine and looks good and does not look out of place.

Thanks

Skirting in a fully tiled bathroom? Woe is me.

 

[dancinplumba]

[Koogatubac]

Looks like the end of the push fits are buried/restricted in the plaster. This is not good practice whoever did it.

No the main 110mm soil pipe has 2 separate collars that take the individual outlet from the sink waste trap and bath trap
