CADENT (NATIONAL GRID)

[Harvest Fields]

Just had to call CADENT our to cut a gas main off for having a 23.5mb standing and 6.0mb working pressure. Yes, I did say 6.0mb. Never had one that low before.

 

[Harvest Fields]

Anybody else had anything lower then 6.0mb??

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Nope I've had 14 that's the lowest

 

[heliotrope]

I had 4mb once. Could only just get a flame on boiler, went out when cooker turned on.

Don't know why you asked grid to disconnect.

Phoned it in and they they came out and fixed it within two hours as usual.

Lowest for me was 13, unlucky for some

 

[Harvest Fields]

He couldn’t get it any better and it needs a new main. He couldn’t get anyone out until tomorrow.

Grid would not cut off a supply 'cos an RGI asked them to. The RGI presents the problem, and they decide upon the appropriate (in there view) course of action

True dat mate. True dat. I was hoping they would fix it there and then. But then again wasn’t he the one that said he would do a boiler change for £1000.00?

HaHa. I checked, and yes he is

But,then, he thinks:
Landlord gas cert pricing?
£20-25 seems to be about the going rate for this. Any more would be a rip off. Have heard of £15 certificates but these are usually done on a..

Maybe his Avatar isn't a joke?

tbh nation grid Sod me off. By me they now wont touch a main that has 17mb or higher at ecv nut. They wont test with the boiler in service mode so moduation gives them another excuse. they have lowered gas mains pressures to around 25mb because the mains leak so bad. they will try anything to avoid costs.

the other problem is they are paying private contractors to plastic line the mains, these guys are on price work and tend to do a really bad job. sometimes they use 16mm pipe inside the old main and if its found out after 2 years the private companys warranty is passed so the grid has to pay to replace. total codge job.

There is loads of main grid replacement going on around my way at the moment. Putting smaller pipework inside the old has resulted in many properties having a low service pressure. When I have called them (many times this year) they have come out replaced the main properly and then buggered off.
