This thread about a job in York

[Chalked]

Gas Engineer wanted in York, N. Yorkshire to install Unvented Cylinders & pair of boilers in tandem

Went to look at this job.
I don't want to comment too much, but the whole jobs a mess. The client is trying to get a quality job, without paying quality installers. He's had a guy on labour only. All pipes are in the same notch,so the cold will become hot. Nothing insulated. Nothing clipped. Pipe work undersized.
I advised more than has been posted. But he hasn't got the budget or experience to sort it.
Wouldn't touch it with a barge pole.

thought as much please tell me it was at-least copper?

 

[Chalked]

Yes it was copper, but was notched into joists with no felt lining al 7, 22mm pope in on notch.
I blame the client tbh.

No mate.
Whoever goes will have a shock. All the main plumbing is done, jobs been plastered. But no drainage! No soil pipes, no wastes!,
