I went to change a 2 port valve and the homeowner explained he wired the original S Plan System himself, believe it or not he was actually proud of this! Tried not to laugh!

one thing ive been amazed at since i started doing social housing is the state of the electrics to boilers and controls wires taped together and rammed up the back of boilers y plans wired inside a single plaster board back box and the clock on the front mostly hanging out the wall due to the weight and movement of using the clock, boilers wired with cable straight out of the plasterb
when i started noting them on cp12's i was told its nothing to do with gas safety

how many of you would service this? Ideal Concord installed in 1977, been there 3 hours today, cleaned all, plus replaced case seal and pump, but not giving it much longer. Looked like chimney sweep afterwards, bloody thing

Ah, memories! Had two floor standing unit heaters in a factory unit once, place had been empty for some years and new occupiers had got units running but were complaining about smells. Didn't know when they'd last been serviced either (reckon they'd just gone in and switched them on). Turns out chimney terminal had gone from one and heat exchanger had rotted out so fumes were going straight back into the unit. Shut it off and cleaned up the other one and sorted it out but it was on borrowed time!
 
I don't think my wife would agree to that. Especially after the Froday night Genius session. 😀
