over rated those hanging brackets, and straight flues !
 
It was a shocking install, boiler mounted on some sort of conti board approx 8 mm thick.
Unvented tank in the middle of loft on mdf base.
The 24i system boiler was wired in wth only a switched live, but had perm live taped up inside the boiler wiring centre.
It was installed by a large local company with a gr8 reputation.
I AR the installation and told the cust to inform gas safe
 
Worcester Junior, weapon of choice for the bodging brigades.

I'd consider IDing that if only one side of the boiler is hanging on the jig, myself.
 
I love forward thinking installers....cant get the immersion stat out..

It wasn't in London by any chance was it?
 
No I work in London. It looks just like a job I looked think at 2 or 3 week ago

Got to try to fit in time to sort pipework on a megaflow at a house bash where the installer had the same idea.
Customer has paid for one fix fee from manufacturer, they think it is thermostat but as they cant change it. (At a cost of £220 ) hes also got to pay to have it moved first.

That picture brings back memory's , I used to subby for kingspan/tribune years ago I have seen that so many times, when the cylinder is indirect and the immersion heater is a back up it's potentially not a massive problem , when it's direct and the stats are tosh it's a rather big job.
 
Install by a very large UK company. Spot the 2 glaring things. Couldn't quite believe what they had done here.

Not to mention all pipework running through loft, none insulated.

Got it with the first 2. They sawed all of the truss out, save 2 little stumps either end.
 
The house won't fall down as luckily the outriggers will support it too.

I'd like to see their reaction if she complained about it and wanted it fixed :lol:
 
Who needs a heating manifold?

Was asked to rip out this mess and fit a UFH Manifold. Didnt even have its own pump was running off the same circuit as the radiators

The lad I was working with today pointed this one out. Only put in two weeks ago! He definitely has better eyesight than me.
