Just had a quick look at the mi on line and they show an expansion vessel, I fitted a bum centre one the other week and that had an expansion vessel and that's a re branded Main.

Unbelievable. Cwsc not supported at all. It was literally at an angle and spilling over the side.

Needless to say it's well supported now and safe!

Found a metal treasure chest in the loft of a friends new house. Thought my look was in.

Found a quija inside it. Nearly pooped myself and didn't feel like going back in the loft
 
Honestly I was up in the loft and just wished I hadn't opened that chest. Had to look through the suitcases up there for her then. Was worried id find a body or something.

Jazz mags would have been fine
 
Yet another one guys n girls. Was there 4 weeks back in a fourth floor flat, the sani kept running on all the time so the customer was switching off electrics. I needed to get the sani out but the incoming stop tap was seized solid. Asked for an isolation valve to be fitted and went back today to find this. 28-5-14.jpg :cry_smile:

Unfortunately the company tells us to be nice to the customers otherwise I would of told him that ID but I did have another word in mind. First time I`ve ever seen such a set up, when I walked in the room I almost said WTF!!

You know how we all laugh at the polish plumbers on YouTube and their love of flexis? We'll I saw this today in an otherwise up to together three floor townhouse!

Disgusting - no cover plates.
And you would have at least thought they would try and keep the radius of each bend uniform.
At least the painters didn't get paint on the flexi's. that would be bad!!
 
Whilst again, not looking too horrendous, the hep PRV pipework and 12 + meters of 15 mm gas pipe feeding this glow worm 24cxi combi is pretty shocking. .

I was really wanting to do a gas test at the inlet to the gas valve to see what the PD was from the meter, i was only there to top up the pressure though.
I'll defo be flagging it up to the Property management place though 🙂
 
Took this on passing this house, Could be wrong but im pretty sure that is a boiler flue sticking out of a garage door. Then again it could be a generator echaust or something but still why fitvto an up and over door? At least it has a guard.

Notice the flue components are m&g ..... Flue extension is from the logic range .......

Fga sky high and the vertical flue was 450 from openable window! Building control any one??

Strange when I asked for builders details he couldn't find them. How many times do you riddor the home owner who won't provide the details of installer. How long will this go on until HSE actually pull fingers out....... What's that capita are going to be running 55% of the HSE by end if next year..... Never in the world!

EGA you rock my world. Isar install by the best.
 
Wasn't this allowed back in the day though?

Ye, it was. I was talking about it with my assessor when I did my acs a few weeks ago. They bent it over and soldered it's. Obviously not acceptable now though.

Sorry, didn't realise I was on page 1! Wow this is a long thread!

Uploading on phone is horrid.

Main in multipoint obviously serviced and maintained just like all the other appliances!
 
Vallant flue extended and offset 75mm using old worcester flue and some Gaffa tape. Loved the internal seals and lack of clips.

Saw this the other day whilst out getting a takeaway. Nothing like airing your meter. Housing completely smashed away.

Still the closest call I've ever been too, ID and cap immediately with the tenants saying they thought they had heard their CO Detector going off but just didn't think...
