because i live 60 miles away and even charging normal rates its a bit of a stretch. the job was just tiling (which was a decent standard) and swapping a rad for a towel rail. i think he was a tiler and not a plumber..

pity you can't weigh in plastic you'd get a fortune lol. plumbers weren't eastern european (sorry stan) were they?
my guess would be someone plumbed in that heating themselves simply to survive the winter. either someone with barely money for food or perhaps squatters. and in either case i'd congratulate them on a good job given the obvious total lack of training or knowledge. that's surely not a bodge because it was never intended to be passed off as proper work, it's functionality and no more.
if i'm wrong then god help us all.

This isn't a hall of shame one cos it looks like the pipe's been stamped on. It was in a pub. It's more of a curiosity because it looks like an optical illusion. The elbow looks tight the wall where the feed came from. The pipe doesn't look distortred or thinned in the middle. So a) where has the extra pipe come from to supply the droop and b) how has it not leaked?

The pulled bend has straightened out when someone stood on it. The deflection is only about an inch of pipe.

Roofer replacing a roof on our contract just happily went around disconnecting the vertical flues and then leaving them live with the boilers pumping out. Shockingly now action at all was taken and I've since found 2 more :-(
after moving into my house and gas safety check and service had been carried out as part of the buying agreement I found the fire hadn't been serviced for a long long time and after many attempts the spillage test failed. This was a pic of the catchment area and the fire took me 3 hours to clean before it failed lol. The certificate belonged to a rogue agent and 2 weeks later the boiler had to be replaced, lucky I'm in the game

Did you RIDDOR? We RIDDOR'd on a scaffold company that purposely removed a flue and refitted incorrectly.
