What a nightmare in my eyes...

The cut out should be at the back aswell, not to the side

That's shocking, get the installer back. A screw is missing from securing the flue down. In fact all 3 are missing and two have been replaced with normal screws. Classed as immediately dangerous in the gas regs.

How is it id please explain your reasoning

No longer a room sealed appliance as the third screw creates the seal on the top of the boiler. AR for incorrect screws and riddor reportable.

What does the outside look like?
I wonder if **** screwed and taped on the telescopic joint

Guess you haven't seen there new tb about leak rate

No excuse for bad workmanship Ronny needs sorting out bud get the installer back did Worcester sort out the fault ?

I have, its about the gaps in the folded metal corners not a gap in the seal connecting the flue to the appliance. In fact they mention in the TB that is any unburnt gas leaks inside the boiler it will naturally vent outside through the flue. Obviously assuming a correct seal. The fact this isn't sealed means the gas would escape into the room now. How you can even argue this isn't ID is worrying.

The outside seems to be done with bonding or something. However, it is sealed from the outside but still Ann awful installation.

Thanks to you all for giving me such great back up I will go there now to sort that out with him.

Thumbs to each and everyone

There is only 10cm sticking out right underneath the rain gutter. I was sure there was a ref for a certain distance. The Worcester engineer had a look and said it's fine. He seemed in rush but did his job in full. Checked, operating pressure , flue gas analysed it, checked the fan. But fail to do a tightness test just walked in and started his job.

 

[Scott_D]

Have you paid?
Maybe request a free gas safe inspection

There only responsible for the appliance not the existing gas system

 

[Scott_D]

He is not required to tightness test

Yes Worcester came today, without tightness test. Started his job checked the pump. He took the pump head off and was completely not moveable. However, once I used a little screwdriver I freed it and it worked fine. He still changed the pump and did his tests as explained above. He wasn't really happy with the flue either neither the pipework. He said it isn't great ... I said it's awful ... thanks for coming back guys !!!

Ah ok, I thought everyone working on a gas appliance should undertake such a important step.

I heard o lot when having a water meter you will need a shock arrestor that's what the Worcester have said due to the non return

Yes have paid already in full and he keeps asking me to leave him a review. It I will explain to him today ( as I am not a pick ) that is not what he really wants as it will ruin his business.

I actually wanted to ask him for a gas safe check for another £75 and perhaps changing the gas hob.

Perhaps I won't be offering money but instead asking for doing it for free. I know what his answer will be and how he will react towards me 🙂

He's not working on the gas line

If he was replacing the gas valve he would only have to test from the boiler valve to the new gas valve

I was still happy with the way he checked and worked at the boiler but the aftercare ... don't ask me ... never again ... learned the hard way again!!!

 

[Scott_D]

Did the Worcester guy screw down the flue or leave it?
