flue to short

Can you upload a photo of the new flue? If the flue is indeed too short and it's not just an excuse to re enter your house then this could be a safety issue.

Hi, I do have pctures but cannot upload my usb port is broken
FROm the outside of house there are PLASTIC bags stuffed around the nose cone of the Flue ,the part with air vents is not visible., as to short.

Hi pinklady - I have just now read ALL the posts above from yourself and my trusted
friends on UKPF - we are really quite good at what we do & all give our time on here
for free.

If you want to let us know where you are i am sure there will be more help available
you are not the 1st property owner to doubt your fitter by a long chalk on our forum CHK

customer was present 1 hour after they arrived

I stayed all day, at the property,. After i arrived 1 hour Later a length of hose was put outside flat door!.
This was metioned to me when theyleft DID younot see the pipe, yes after I arrved and nothing else.

The GAS SAFE registered fitter stripped his ownvan out IT HAD NO EMPTY BOTTLES ANYWHERE,
only in drivers door where his partner had put them the only 2 bottles in whole van.

I spoke to GAS SAFE ON FRIDAY I have his mobile number the inspector
He cannot MAKE appt FOR ANOTER MONTH AS SO BUSY.

So should Iust get them to come back fix proper length FLUE , boss had said to me on phone ,
most of hiseginers carry extensions;
SUrely they are different to each boiler?

WILL a power flush put rubbish in a brand NEW BOILER Voiding the 10 yr Guarantee? Please

You don't need to test or buy a kit.

dont pay them until they prove to you they have added inhibitor. Your installer seems to be missing a bit of customer relations.

The more I read the more I realise there is another half to this story.

 

[pinklady54]

Ok, But I'm still in the dark with a power flush being done LATER to my Brand New boiler =
Will it not put rubbish into it? please.

 

[pinklady54]

Hi London SW16 thank you

 

[pinklady54]

sorry cannot upload the pics of flue
THERE are Plastic bags stuffed around the FLUE, on outside of house,the end of flue where vents are is not visible as too short.
BENCHMARK was Completed and LANDLORDS SAFETY CERT given. to me.
Even though the flue is SHORT cannot reach outside brickwork

If the flue's too short as you say both them documents are invalid.

Do not turn the boiler on.

 

[EPH]

If the Magnacleans fitted you won't be getting much debris or sludge into the heat exchanger. Get them back Monday and talk to them face to face. They could have lost the inhibitor bottle and just emptied one as you were so insistent.

DO NOT USE YOUR BOILER until the flue is sorted.

Havent read the full thread, but if you haven't paid in full for the job, use that a a bargaining tool!

 

[Centralheatking]

SW16 ? call in Pilmlico Plumbers they will sort it out CHK
and keep the retained payment and then sue for the rest
- by the looks of things it will be no contest CHK

 

[pinklady54]

Hi, and what do you think the 'other side of story is?'

Please explain; I have plastic bags STUFFED AROUND THE FLUE on exterior wall of flue end!.
The airvents of FLUE are NOT visible.

 

[Alpha man]
