Is this glue against regulations ?

[ShaunCorbs]

Surely it has to be rectified by the eeediots that fooked it up , its terrible that the poor custard has to pay anything since hed already paid but there in lies the rub = did he cut corners to get a cheapo install done and u get wot u pay for scenario, unfortunate

Or did the builders do it when they extended

Yeh thats very possible ,,, certainly wasnt done by someone with half a brain,

Unfortunately the customer told me he bought the property like this, which I don't believe.

He mentioned he has to top up the boiler every 5/6weeks so he surely had someone not doing the job right. He also mentioned the company or whatever you call it disappeared somehow

DIY and wants it signed off

FFS: Is this a wind up?

???: I suspect a dodgy installation that I am not qualified to asses. Hmm... Do I get my RGI mate to inspect or do I take a multitude of pointless bad photos and ask for comments from equally unqualified forum users?

I hope you did not charge the punter for all the photo time?

I do not know what your problem is.
I did not do the job as I am not qualified. Furthermore, it's not your business about any charges here. And yes, you are quite right it's a dodgy messy install therefore I got called out regarding few other things. However, as mentioned above I have told him that he may need to relocate the boiler or whatever is necessary to get the boiler up to regulations.

The problem is if someone gas safe went to the property they would have to AR or ID the install and probably cap it off or call out the grid. Regardless if the customer can afford to have it sorted, if its dangerous it need to be shut down

That's why I said get him switched of in the street. He will have to sort it then. But then again I can be quite harsh sometimes😛😛😀

I understand the point but I am not a gas safe engineer and he doesn't want any help anymore as I told him about the boiler before doing any other work. He is not keen on changing anything and not willing to get my gas safe reg mate in. So there is then only option to call national grid. ? ?

No

I don't understand hat you expect from the good people here? The punter is not prepared to pay, you feel bound to take some sort of action, and as NO-ONE, except Nat. Grid or equivalent, even a RGI, is allowed to disconnect without the owners permission, the only avenue is phoning NG.

Seriously I haven the got a clue what you on about. Obviously I cannot take any actions except from calling national grid. And what do you mean by "expecting from the good people here ?"

I already informed them, so I don't know what happened.

Seems simple enough situation, matchless has come across a badly installed boiler and a customer who doesn't want to hear about spending money not being gas safe yet he asks "What would you do?"

Bottom line is you need to call it in, your not doing him or his family any favours by ignoring it, even if you call it in and they GSR engineer says it is safe it doesnt cost you anything!

You have seen it and you in my opinion although not GSR have the knowledge to see that it isnt right and it could be dangerous!

You are then the responsible person and should act!
