Yeah, I'm sure. That was my first thought when I looked at the cylinder from above (it was boxed in but with a removable panel). Once I got it out, and could properly examine it, I was shocked. The problem with these big victorian houses, is they get added to over the years. It's not that often that everything is stripped back and it's started again from scratch.

This place was once two flats, and has been put back to being one house as it was originally built. So there are a few quirky things, but I've seen all them before. This immersion on the switch live it a new one to me.

Is your install to the left of the balanced flue bronz?

 

[tamz]

From the days when baskets were for cases (and no one carried cement) and a risk assessment was an unheard of thing :smile:
Was it a myson or a glow worm i cant remember.

 

[Dannypipe]

Is it off an Ideal Elan 2?

 

[tamz]

Don't think they had hot on them Danny

 

[Dannypipe]

Actually - I don't either. Like the fact that it's got a wee warning on it. A four year old kid would probably have to lean on it, while they worked out what it said.

 

[tamz]

A 4 year old kid would only touch it once to learn what it meant.

No pal, I was working across the road, Just thought it was hilarious so had to take a pic. The other flue is not even upright if you look it, shocking work.

None of gas pipework clipped or sleeved either.

went to a Keston today, I don't see many of them but I'm fairly certain there should be a bung in there somewhere :freak:

And then at the next property I used the bog, I laughed so much I nearly peed on the floor

They just need to replace the flush pipe with a flexi for a hat trick!

Why did he not just take it up in copper?! A small kick bend in the pipe and it would have been so easy and quick to do. Some muppets out there only know how to slap plastic together and that's all they can do.

Think it's against b&q policy to use copper, prob a health and safety thing!

View attachment 7484View attachment 7485 This plumber forgot the first rule of plumbing - "Sh** rolls down hill". Also it seems that if a stopcock is knackered, just fit another one (we've all done that) but if that one goes, well just fit another one.....and so on!!

I realise that the first picture the trap has just slipped down, but it shouldn't have been able to, and had been like that for a while. Was full of sludge.🙂

that is a perfect example of what happens when you dont obey the golden rule of pipe clippingwhich is
one clip on a run of pipe is as much use as a chocholate fireguard

 

[Koogatubac]

Thought i would contribute! Job today, shower pump werent working m so replaced it for new. Builder did plumbing, absolute terrible, took ages getting air out of pump due to pipework.
The holes underneath basin is where you can isolate the basin, and yes ther on flexis, changed taps in past and the service valve span around lol
