Flue though air brick

[E4gas]

Just passed a job I missed out on , because I was £100.00 dearer I guess .it was done about 6 weeks
I noticed the flue was cut though the old air brick , and not cemented up the outside leaving the old vent holes , it's on the 1st floor , it's not to high to cement , so not sure why its been left ..

they only had a set of steps would be my guess 🙂

Just plain bone idle perhaps?

That get's my vote!

knock on the door and advise them to request a free gas safe inspection.

be fair its hard enough to get a boiler pipe and tools in a 94 nissan micra let alone a ladder

Saw a flue the other day vertical through roof about couple hundered mm from chimney stack so they had all the white sitting out the roof and a bracket to the chimney stack

I told landlords , but not interested ..

 

[AWheating]

landlord wont care, tennant will tho.

Thats a good point tell the tenant and get them to phone gas safe for an inspection. My mate went to a house and was doing something unrelated to plumbing and a pipe shot off her shower and managed to partially flood her house , apparently the heating and plumbing system was only 9 months old , It had a thing called an acccumalator which pumps mains water apparently but he said the flue was wrong all the PRV were going into a 15mm pipe work , so he switched it off and advised not to use anything on the system

the other bloke clearly didnt want to go up that high he probably got knocked a £100 and thought it might be dangerous or with all this hse stuff didnt want to fork out for a scaffold to block the old vent holes up
