My teleporting machine must have gone wrong because it only took me 5 minutes to get to that job.

Are they all like that in ***bria or something?

Blocking this vent is no real problem. No gas appliances on this side of the big house.

But top marks for the use of a wheetabix box. That's blue Peter at its finest!!

Dear oh dear, the writing is upside down.

Yes, all in progress now. I shudder to think what other liberties were taken. These particular bungalows have a very generous loft. The previous owner converted the loft without LBC and the new owner is beginning to regret his purchase. It is a shame as he is in his 80's and is now spending what little he has left making this place safe.

Obviously his solicitor and surveyor didn't do their jobs properly!

Shocking one really, I shut this boiler down a few months back as the flue had come apart due to not being clipped at all, l/lord go original installer back to repair (I'd recommended complete flue replaced as damage to inner flue duct at joints). Got a call again today from tenants as smelling this is what I found.



POC still escaping, hence the staining, also spilling into the floor void and into the bedroom above, you can see staining above the skirting! L/Lord has seen sense and whole flue is being replaced next week.

That staining and peeling paintwork is unlikely to be from leaking poc's Roger unless they are burning coal. Did you fga the inlet?

 

[lame plumber]

needs supporting for sure, rest is a building in need of repair. agree with tamz and check for co on inlet air intake to prove seal in flues

How about this for some neat pipework, wouldn't you just love this across your kitchen ceiling.

Agreed building is in poor state throughout, but Definatly spilling poc, didn't need Fga to check for the smell of fumes in there it absolutely stank.

1) Ariston Undersink water heater fitted as a oversink which had exploded and water leaking on to electrics (Odeon Cinema)

2) Reports of no hot water, Little undersink water heater, lovely bit of pipe work a? Must of been done by a blagger, found PRV discharge pipe to be bent over, hadn't been in long and made them get the numpties back that installed it, the other one they fitted the PRV discharged in to a open end waste pipe which was venting nice smells into cubicle. (Another Odeon Cinema)

3) KFC - Reports of smell of gas near their deep fat fryers, their lucky the place didnt go boom

Some of the latest ones I have come across.

haha the clip choice on the cieling was spot on lol. erm dont meen to look thick mike but whats wrong with that brass bonded fitting with water running through it attached to the 25mm mdpe with water running through it..

That's the main earth bond so it means the rest of the system is not bonded. All that does is earth just the stop tap and is actually more dangerous than not bonding at all. They have turned an isolated metal fitting into a route to earth. The rest of the plumbing in the property is copper or galvanised iron. Should there be a short to the pipework and someone touched the sink and that tap they would have completed the path to earth.
