gas cooker

kirk that doesnt answer my question where a large job is spread over long periods how can the same man do it all or would you suggest that all previous work is ripped out and redone

no i appreciate the scenario you suggest and it isnt feasible to guarantee that the same guy will go back months later, but that doesnt negate the need for the boss to ensure that whoever did the first fix was a gas guy NOT a plumber wth a gas guy running round several jobs filling out paperwork to keep the bosses costs down, if you get sent to a second fix 3 months after the first fix and nothing is jumping out at you then it is acceptable to belive your boss is a good boss who works within the regs (unless you know he isnt, would you then sign off as your responsibility gas work done by guys you know are not qualified) but the quotes made here were made by someone who guarantees by their own admission that they did illegal gas work that is signed off by a gas guy which is different,

The convo i had with gas safe regarding hobs was on a wimpey site .The gas hob was to be fitted in a disabled kitchen where the whol;e work top could move up/down for wheel chair access.Thats when i pointed out hobs are on fixed pipework which is when i phoned gas safe.I gave my own reg number and ,tech guy then gave me the info i have stated.
I have seen other gas guys inspected on site and they have not even been questioned by the inspector that they have solely fitted 140 boilers/hobs/pipework or even supervised all these installs.
Just about ALL big firms employ a guy who will solely go out and commisssion an install, i have worked with most of the big players and its same all over .To say it isnt then its a case of need to get out into the bigger market.
House bash sites pay £10 for a tt £40 for commission so guys who were not gas safe would test ten houses then flash up heating get the money.Like i said happens on large scale and on every site i have been on .

Kirk i have not fitted any cookers on my own work like i said in earlier post never done ticket as no money in it here so wont bother.Thjink its interesting debate tho as obvious;y opened up a few eyes as to what really goes on .
