HALL of SHAME PHOTo`s

[Chrisgy]

Installed for a landlord, this so called plumber has gas safe according to the agent. Second boiler of his I have seen and second where the flue isn't sealed on either side. 15mm gas to boiler stepped up to 22mm as it gets to the boiler.

Condensate and relief valve look like a tidy job also 🙁

Reason I asked is I went to a job , same flue but boiler was WB 24 I junior 🙂

Wow they've ploughed those holes through, why oh why do these people get away with it?

As far as the flue the clip/bracket it had been removed and left on the lagging. Was a huge contractor that had just started and was doing major building works throughout the county. They squashed the problem in 2 seconds and the thing that upset me the most was the roofer that carried out the work laughed in my face and told me to stop being a drama queen. I filled in the riddor form but never heard anything, such a poor attitude.

You may never hear anything. In the case we had with the scaffolder, the HSE contacted us because we owned the house and employed the contractor.

We got asked what processes we were going to put in place to ensure that this didn't happen again on our housing stock. Once that was clarified, the HSE were happy and the case closed.

If you are seeing this happen repeatedly, I'd RIDDOR each and every one. I dare bet HSE will twig it's a pattern and get a bit more serious with it.

That's shockingly bad!

How on earth can someone walk away from that ! Unbelievable !!

I've just got back from inspecting the plumbing work that's been recently carried out at a rented flat. The tenant has been given notice to quit because she complained about the quality of work. She has also been branded a racist by the owner of the building firm that did the work because his employees are Eastern European. Apparently they are very good workers but they are certainly not plumbers.

Since the work was done the hot water has been excessively hot, I wonder why?

Parallel pipes!

No dust sheets or burn barrier used.

Apparently this sort of damage is acceptable when lifting floors.

A sight for sore eyes.

This was her mat that was used to mop up a leak, hence the staining and perhaps a little more care could have been taken when soldering.


CQ9R5583 by Mike Jackson1, on Flickr

When you have a leak apparently it's okay to use the customers measuring jug to catch it. This is after it's been washed.

The same chaps installed the new kitchen sink when she moved in. Smells from a kitchen sink or normal apparently.

LOL, if that lot wasn't so bad I'd be looking out for someone with a camera doing a wind up!

 

[Mike Jackson]

Not bad workmanship but the customer was told that the entire system needed ripping out and I've managed to get it going again with a new pump and a magnacleanse.

Checked the ventilation on a static caravan today and found all but 4 vents were blocked.


Blocked by Mike Jackson1, on Flickr

Others were blocked with toilet roll, newspaper etc. I pulled half a bin bag of debris out from the vents in all. The drop holes under the cooker and water heater had been blocked by carpet as well. All this was despite the large sign warning against blocking the ventilation.

[Roger Welton]

Went out to a new customer today, barn conversion all plumbed up by the previous owner, plastic pipe almost right up to boiler, plastic oil pipe run externally up the wall, plant room in the roof space, heating pump acting as a secondary circ, ufh everywhere but no timers just on danfoss room stats and the best bit the towel rails on the first floor were all piped from the roof down
