Nightmare boiler and unvented cylinder installation

Make sure who ever comes to fix it at your request brings proof of qualification (g3) either will be a card eg like a gas safe card or there qualification (this should have a holo stamp and be thick a4 card material)

Goes without saying Shaun, live & learn, even if the hard way. Never thought I would get caught up like this, asked all the right questions & trusted them. Still insisting he/they are G3, time will tell.

As a matter of interest, do any of you guys, or gals, live anywhere near OL14?

Kibble is a bit much, don't want to get ripped off again, will a couple of biscuits do (non chocolate Aldi own brand)?! And clearly we'd need to charge him to use the loo! I've messaged him.

Seriously, I wish I'd found this site earlier.

Quick query, which having googled may open a hornets nest. Whilst perhaps not good practice, is it against regs to use fire retardant expanding foam around the flue. Or is it down to each manufacturer to state what they require?

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Aslong as it’s low expansion your fine I use it

I use a bit of foam to hold it in place, then cement over the top once dry
