I had to ring Heat Team about this as I had never come across something like this before. They confirmed that you can have a maximum of 5 meters drop on the flue, taking off a meter per elbow. So this is actually ok. But my god does it look dodgy!

This might be ok, I didn't actually go to this property I just noticed it on my travels and took a pic.

tell you what looks iffy to me thats a standard efficiency performa with what appears to be a high efficiency plume kit
 
me too sj deffo. flue on to neighbours prop. no wonder they built extension pmsl. sick of plumage
 
Last one i had like that turned into a 12month legal battle as the council had actually signed of the extension 6 months earlier
 
aparantly the boiler has been like it for 4 years and it was all working ok, got southern gas out to replace guvoner as wp at meter was low, i put boiler down as ar, after southern gas had been just for the teermination, i looked into getting a plume kit which ideal aparantly make but was told it is obselite, dont think the customer will do anything about it but at least i have covered myself
 
No plastic within 1 metre of boiler......yeah right more like no copper anywhere near boiler

A diy boiler decommissioning....

Yep that's the old balanced flue blocked with cardboard held on with filler. And a circle of card in the centre. Gas pipe is also seen isolated only with isolated valve. This was in a takeaway.

Mmm nice clean kitchen taps.....

Dirty eh? Guess what... Same takeaway.....
Would you like something to eat? No bloody chance i.ve just reinstated hot water supply to the kitchen after 4 weeks. They only rang me after a health inspection.

Can't really see those pictures, tapatalk seems to upload very very low resolution photos (100x100 or less)
 
went to a job friday. as a speedfit coupler on the drain-off was leaking.
i recognized the house from a couple of years ago where i helped install the boiler during my so-called-gas-training with a gsr rse.
what do you think?

I'm guesing the suply cable is plugged into a socket below and there isn't any part 'L' observed ... TRV's, room stat programmer that sort of thing :)

I hope you've learned something since your 'training' days REDSAW? :lol:
 
i recon on the main its prv into the conden pipe,cant see the valiant picture fully though
 
forget the vailant pic, dont know how it got there.
there are no room stat, the lead is un-fixed and the condense paired to the prv goes 6meters to outside drain pipe with a 22mm speedfit on, straight through a little girls bedroom!.
 
put this up before, tenant calls for l.l. cert and found as is....

also, cooker point in middle of room un-supported for 2 meters.Photo-0001.jpg

this one of the meter cupboard is in a warden aided complex disabled bungalow.. there all the same council stuff.
