    is this quote fair? central heating upgrade

    It wasted 10 minutes of my life, bit I eventually found where I disagreed with you: Which is a bit different to what you are now saying. And |i still disagree with you, on that specific point :)

    is this quote fair? central heating upgrade

    I wouldn't try to fore anyone to do anything - I don't think I even implied as much. However, as the invited proffessional, it is expected that you offer advice. Sometimes the punter takes the advice, sometimes not. Ultimately, provided it is safe and legal, I would follow the instructions...

    Thanks. But I did say modern. :) seriously though - are very new ones any different? Do you find the 4 hours serves you with HW all day? Is the main usage post 4pm?

    is this quote fair? central heating upgrade

    Yes, they have. But, personally, if I did bathrooms, I would fit anything you wanted. But you would be aware that YOU are buying/supplying the gear, any time spent chasing missing/extra bits would be chargeable at my standard rates, and ANY call backs would be fully charged as normal, unless it...

    is this quote fair? central heating upgrade

    Sorry, Mark, but someone in their 40's has a long way to go (hopefully). There is a lot of water to go under the bridge, and life rarely pans out as you expect (that is from personal experience). The heating is part of the house, and should be designed as such. I did not see where you said the...

    is this quote fair? central heating upgrade

    Serious question: On a modern UV cylinder, how long does the water keep hot? We are 2 adult home ( +1 when son visits for weekend every month or so), 2 bathrooms/3 showers. I shower, she bathes. The water is on for about an hour, ending before we get up and again in the PM ending before we get...

    Tis a good point. OP: whose idea was a combi? Assuming space and cold water pressure is available, unvented is generally better, IMO.

    Moving radiator pipes from floorboards to wall

    Why do folk get obsessed with hiding pipes? Just make sure they are tidy. Removing a rad later will probaby cause damage to the wall - no movement on the pipes.

    Arthur: I think everyone is being ultra polite. Either you are losing it or you are on a successful wind up.

    It may be that they are planning to be more proactive or just a bit more assertive. Will be interesting to see if the discussion is repeated when I go.

    Gas safe inspection event

    Not really, but there have been complaints of that nature over the years on forums (I KNOW! ;) ) and in the magazine. However, from the GS site: Report illegal Gas Work - Gas Safe Register What will we do with the information you provide? If you have provided us with your details, we will...

    Gas safe inspection event

    But That is interesting, Darren. It has, to date, always been the case, AFAIA, that GS will only investigate anything if it comes from the customer.

    FGA Result need altered?

    Well, have it your way. I was not trying to be unpleasant, but it is shocking that you are classed as competent while never having adjusted a gas valve. That is not your fault, but the state of the training in this industry. TBF, though, I would have thought your first course would have been to...

    Gas safe inspection event

    But how does this fulfil that, Darren? The original inspections physically checked work. It is not a perfect system, but helped to keep us on our toes. The hotel tests are open book, they are only a diluted form of ACS, and we all know that it is pis$ easy. The hotel tests have NO validity -...
