HALL of SHAME PHOTo`s

[Mike Jackson]

This is not so much a dodgy install but a case of dodgy engineers failing to spot a problem. 13 engiineers had been to the job prior to my visit and caused all sorts of problems trying to find the cause of the overflow on the header tank. Either no one else had noticed the drip coming from the open vent with the system off or hadn't realised its significance. The cold water storage cistern was at a higher level than the header tank and it was obviously a split coil causing the problem. The pump had been moved, the primaries upgraded, a bypass put in complete with various leaks through the ceiling in attempts to solve the problem.This had been going on for 15 months and we had to repaint the side of the custards house due to the brown staining from the continuous overflowing.

Loving the gate valve!!!

The last picture is awsome too. He must have stood back and been really proud with that.....

 

[PlumbBobBob]

Judging by the boarded up door below, I think they could be squatters.....which would explain the terribleness of it.

Gas suppliers were informed 🙂 Amazingly it wasn't letting by or leaking!!

It was an in progress extension on the back of some flats ... !!! I think they used every possible variety of plastic available .... :lol:

 

[Halesowen1]

I love moving them cookers with all the sausage juice on them, mmmmmmmmmmm.

 

[Resolute]

That gas meter must have been a joke?!

As for the cooker, looks like someone set it on fire and it's been doused in water to put it out - they were obviously too lazy to then clean it up!

 

[diamondgas]

GAs meter was straight off the mains supplying a communial church hall 🙂 ... Now been flattened, I passed there a cupl months back 🙂

I had to ring Heat Team about this as I had never come across something like this before. They confirmed that you can have a maximum of 5 meters drop on the flue, taking off a meter per elbow. So this is actually ok. But my god does it look dodgy!

This might be ok, I didn't actually go to this property I just noticed it on my travels and took a pic.
