Yeh wipe ya shoes on way out with some. Not all tho. Still some nice people
Can you get in writing what they expect?
Their 'service' procedure?
Hi folks. Bit of an update here. I've been on the job 3 days and I'm being advised these "services" are not your standard yearly service like a private job. Apparently it's only a landlords safety check, and a full service only needs to be carried out if the fga readings are out.
Thoughts please???
It's the fitter who I went out with who told me what's what. When I first went in and spoke to the gaffer he was very vague with questions I asked him.
I do servicing for housing association.... Boiler Service normally consists of.
Tightness test.
Condense trap clean
Gas rates on full rate only. Normally combis, so on high rate.
Analyser high rate only
And safety device.
And obviously your visual checks.
I think the only thing we don't do is checking expansion vessel. Low rate analyser. And working pressure unless it's a gas fire service... And no where on the housing associations cert does it ask for all this. Mad eh. [emoji54]
For example.... No flue clips on vertical flue... Previously we noted ncs no flue clips... But gas safe rules say..... AR.. So need turn boiler off.
I am worrying but only cos I care lol. Even if some of them are filthy.
Good advice.
I still can't get my head around the different standards of work within this industry. Surely to be safe, we do it right or not at all? Believe me I do need the money but I don't thing Gas Safe would care to much if I haven't followed MIs.
You should be doing a low rate FGA if MI's state a figure for it.I do servicing for housing association.... Boiler Service normally consists of.

I was told by my inspector dont do a tightness test on a service. He said isolate the appliance do your service and purge after your done. Gets you out of potential mess
