FLUX in new system install - how to get rid

[bob the plumber]

But you do the same as all of us though, turn on the taps. I have never seen anybody flush out the water pipes. I have only ever done it when installing cold mains, due to pebbles in feeds to new build properties.

if its possible i will always blast the pipes through into a bucket before installing second fix?

Eaga are or were the main contractor, it is then fitted by local companies. Just wanted to know the company's name.

The way the guy said he flushed out the pipes, I meant we all use the existing supply, I dont know anybody who flushes any other way.

Eaga formley Everwarm up this way. Scotland and NE England. 90% direct labour.
Sold out to Carillion who robbed the workers of their share options and are now making an even bigger hash of things.
Everwarm has been reincarnated by a couple of Eaga directors and is back into insulation and Solar.

What was the company called??

they had a lizard on the van but eaga uniforms.

 

[Halesowen1]

The warmfront shceme which was run by EAGA now Carilion is in its last year and is working at about 25% of last year due to no money left in the pot to do any more jobs.
It is being re named from Aprill and will be all about renewables.

that should be fun, give guys who fit poorly installed heating systems some solar panels to fit........ disaster! LOL.

This is IGUANA, they no longer exist as they were the only sub contractors owned by EAGA the main contractors. As they were owned by the big boys they had favourable jobs and inspecting, hence a load of rubbish fitted everywhere, they made all the other companys look bad too as they were all classed as EAGA fitters.
But unfortunately these were a law onto themselves and nobody could tough them, I was not allowed to inspect there work as they were owned by EAGA.
These cowboys were on watchdog and then quickly got rid of all them terrible vans and got rid of most of the fitters. They started back up as Eaga Heat who are still owned by eaga and get all the best jobs.

thats the one, i could not spell it 🙂

Looks like they have missed the jump on that one as the ex directors at Everwarm and UKFM have already been doing it for 9 months snapping up the contracts.

 

[Halesowen1]

They dont need any contracts, they will be fitting free solar, heat pumps etc, I reckon they will be over run with people wanting it. Just as they were with the Warmfront scheme, that was its own contact, it generated 100s of millions of pounds of work, all free.

 

[Halesowen1]

Warmfront is not a company, it was the name of the contract ran by EAGA, it was Free heating installed and hence did not go looking for contracts. The new scheme will be more renewables and have a new name, think its Greener Homes Scheme. They will not be looking for any solar jobs or contracts, they go and fit it free to all the thousands who will be applying for the free grant.
Plus as the warmfront scheme has been counting down to end for 5 years with the decreasing workload and funds, I would assume they have been doing a bit of homework.

 

[AWheating]

another unfair monopoly.

 

[Halesowen1]

Who are Everwarm?? Aint heard of them.

 

[tamz]

The contracts are mainly council. No one else can afford to put it in. BG has snapped most of this up and are giving it out to the aforementioned.
The FIT if now barely worth the effort but as usual no doubt the gov will hand over more work to some of the worst contractors in the game.

 

[Halesowen1]

Not realy a monopoly, its a funded scheme for free heating and renewables, it should be a good thing.

 

[Halesowen1]

Warmfront dont do councill work as they are a scheme not a company. So nobody could possibly take any work from them.

Look them up.
Private company taken over by....can't remember....taken over by Eaga. The Everwarm director (founder) was contracted to Eaga for X amount of years after selling out and basically run things up here with his Newcastle counterpart. They knew what was coming and jumped out last xmas time and sat on garden leave arranging their new contracts until April when they were free.
They have stolen the march on Carillion but we'll see how things pan out.

The Warmfront scheme was set up for private homes not councill, so nobody has took a jump on them with this work you mention, they dont do that and never have.

If you are running your own thing too, try getting a slice of it. It is so well sown up to make it nigh on impossible to do, but it can be done, at a cost to you.
