    Manned speed cameras

    Hi KOP, not had a clean license for decades. Done all the courses etc. Guess i am a lost cause. I just pay up like with tax on cigs and booze. Best one was on a smart motorway, gantry says 60 mph, road was empty, i thought "crappy thing is stuck" - turned out to be on 60mph for emission...

    Can an existing open flame gas fire be serviced?

    I know its been in for a while but you really do need flame failure detection to shut off the gas supply. Relying on a human to control the gas supply is too scary for me. I dont service fires per se but also i have not come across a fire that has not got flame failure shut off

    ASHP air condtioning

    There are multiple solutions, but they all have design limits which my may rule out some. Basically : 1. Individual split Units, one outdoor unit, one indoor unit, simplest , cheapest. 2. Multi-split, one outdoor unit , typically they can have 4 indoor units, which are piped in from the...

    Speeding fine In France

    Sadly been done many times abroad, even in a hire car, where the hire car company kindly paid the fine for me and put it on my credit card. Never any points, just a fine that eventually comes in the post. Just pay it, its a fair cop, lol

    Someone got to start this one 🤔

    I am in a similar situation but with commercial clients. I am going to ring them next week and determine a course of action where we can both be safe and the boilers / heaters are also safe. I dont do domestic and glad in a way as i think the approach needed for these will entail, the client...

    Removal of redundant gas pipe

    Sure, lets say its steel threaded pipe and lets say there are say 6 joints in the pipe within the room. Lets also say that the room is used for storage and getting access to the pipe work is typical of clients who dont understand a gas guy needs to be able to inspect each joint (at some time) ...

    Removal of redundant gas pipe

    All joints, valves need to be accessible, pipes will need to be purged of air. The area containing gas pipes need to be adequately ventilated. These are a few regs off the top of my head but the IGEM regs are very long and detailed. Just from a common sense POV, having a live gas pipe which has...

    Plumber has caused leaks throughout the house

    Well he is maintaining it was not his fault, so of course he would be expecting payment for all his good works. However you hold him responsible for flooding the house which, it is reasonable , not to pay for such a poor service. There in lies the dispute. The only issue i can see is if your...

    Plumber has caused leaks throughout the house

    My advice is that this will get worse before if gets better (financially). I would not advise paying the plumber at all. I would give all the plumbers details to your insurance company and let them pursue the claim against him, it takes time. I would get confirmation from the insurance company...

    Electric heat only boiler installation advice for a charity please

    Struggling to get my head around a 12KW wet boiler replacing a "large oil fired warm air heater" In term of price per KW, electricity is approx 5 times more expensive than NG and 2.5 - 3 times that of oil and LPG. If the electric boiler is sufficient than an LPG fed boiler would neatly offer...

    Worcester Bosch wires melting

    OK, I cannot see any green or green/yellow cable coming from the service head, black block on right, i also cannot see any device that would be used if your service has an earth rod somewhere in your garden. You have no additional protection for earth faults in your fusebox that we have on more...

    Worcester Bosch wires melting

    If the electrician has determined that your house has no earth, then this is in fact a very different (and quite dangerous) situation, a photograph of the consumer unit, meter and incoming service head would be useful for us. Treat this revelation as very urgent to fix.

    Worcester Bosch wires melting

    Great news. Earthing within a house can have many parallel paths. The boiler and associated pipework can be a good hub for many parallel paths. The good news is that the breaker did its job and saved more serious damage to the property. Hopefully the electrician has checked all associated...

    This made me smile today

    Wonder if he is getting a cut, would be a great coup to get such a reputation and not cash in on all the blimps and bog brushes.
