Hi Tamz / Gray and A Wheating thanks for your responses. Iso valves don’t sound like a great idea and I am wondering why the plumber felt a need to use them? The guy that did the re-fitting last year wasn’t the builders plumber that fitted this awful system, he was a reputable plumber, so what was his thinking I wonder. I am at my wits end with this…I really don’t want this bodge but it’s hard to see what else. If work is being done on a system to bring it up to Regulation standards I wonder if Building Control / Water Regulator (?) would give me an opinion on the way this is being addressed even if the NHBC did the original Building Control, what do you think? I know it means taking floors up but that really isn’t my problem, this system is bodged, if I get any leaks below floor level I have to re-plumb because nobody knows where the joints are, no manifold, no access hatch or anything, which is why the builder had to re-plumb one of the houses in the first 6 months! I have a letter from the Water Regulator saying this system breaches Regulation 4, paragraph 7. My boiler, the heating system has stood now for 8 months not functioning, the boiler sprang a leaks and emptied all the water out of it 8 months ago. I have no idea what damage has been done to the system because it was never commissioned, and what damage has been done as a consequence of what has happened the past 8 months. I have no ensuite loo because I can’t turn the bath tap on in the bathroom 2 rooms away without the loo starting to flush continually, and there is nobody I can turn to to sort this , it seems astounding! I can’t even get insurance on the system because it never met Regulations and it is obvious it never met Regulations! I am exhausted and cry a lot of the time…
