HALL of SHAME PHOTo`s

[chris watkins]

Yes the ufh is off the unvented Yes the installer was qualified. No he didn't have a clue. Yes it's hilarious and I can't help but laugh.

Qualified in what ???? it defo isn't plumbing (Water Regs or unvented), heating, electrical, lagging, even the woodworking skills aren't great it looks like they even ripped up the bit of flooring right next to the cylinder to use as the back board, you can see the screw holes along the edge of the T&G.

Some have absolutely no shame or then again perhaps they thought it was a good job.

DIY springs to mind.

was there a thermal store there before?

 

[Crinkmeister]

Reg Prescott would have been proud of that!

 

[Ermintrude]

He looked like him. One of our Subbies did it with a diyer / retired woodwork teacher ! Pair of morons. The ufh consisted of 49 loops of 10mm hep. No flow control or blending. Just on and off using boiler pump too...... F f s

Wow... Just, wow!!!
Still, should be a good earner putting it right... I take it the subbie is no longer a subbie for you?

Just what I was thinking steve, and just incase any of you others were wondering if it is legal under the Water Reg's (cos I know how conceded & worried you lot get about such matters) it's fine. :hurray:

Maybe they wanted a powerflush and the plumber got mixed up?

a house i used to look after in highgate had a cysten in the loft with a small pond pump in it which when the switch in the toilet was pushed pumped water over the syphon and made it flush house got sold to the saudi king so not a dump

 

[IND_Nick]

Another quality install found while doing landlord checks!

 

[IND_Nick]

The bricking up made me laugh as well, surely this is more work than doing it properly?

How could you not investigate further?

 

[stani]

Could it be the sprinkler system water supply, but due to being on a meter rather than an uncontrolled expensive deluge of water, the occupier has to nip into the loft, flush the handle, this then discharges a controlled amount of water onto the fire thus saving the property and a huge water bill.

Wales and west had turned it off as CO detector kept going off. Flue in void. No access. BG had serviced it in April last year.
Service form said
flue safe no
Appliance safe to use yes

Sand in condense trap and flue. God knows whats happened to the terminal as no access

 

[Taffman]
