So bad for this, I suppose that’s what a test is for if it doesn’t show a leak on the test it’s all good.

The common one is flue test points on boilers.

Did a gas hob put electric oven back under the hob, and thinking did I tighten connections, but tightness test held up so must of been done automatically without thinking, just can’t remember doing it

Might do, just looks bad asking the customer if you can check it looks like you don’t know what your doing I feel, it held up on tightness test so I’m sure I would of otherwise it would of dropped on the test

Yep, had this myself when I was renting. Noticed it 5 days after the enginner had done a landlords and service. Boiler was in cupboard in bathroom. I went mad at the guys who had the service contract.

Yep same thing I do that too but like we said there is a reason for a test if it doesn’t drop it’s fine and tight

For locking things I say to myself (but out loud) something like "It's Tuesday and I've locked the door" immediately after I've done it. It's the saying it out loud that seems to fix the memory for me. It's important to include the day for obvious reasons.

I never leave stuff just always get the feeling I want to go back and double check everything even though I know I’ve tested properly

I trust my gut.

Yep, years ago I use to fit boilers on the warmfront scheme and did a lovely conversion in York. We finished and left the property about 7pm, when we got to Doncaster I had this horrible feeling that I left the test nipple out on the meter, my paranoia got the best of me, so we drove back and the fecker was in and all tight.

Ahhhh

 

[Sharp Point]

Done a few more acts like that over the years, this is why I always tell Young’s to get into a method and stick to it.

Nice to know it’s not just me, I’ve done the exact same thing.

I should as I know I always test probably, confidence comes with time I guess.

Once I just settled in bed and had an alarming thought of did I close p2 on the gas valve. Did not remember doing it up. Phoned customer at 11pm and explained. Went to his house and....I had closed it. He was actually happy I went back and recommended me to his mother. I would not have been able to sleep if I had not gone back.
