this really puts the plum in plumber.

went to a customer of mine today, she has just has a new boiler fitted. she phoned me as wasn't happy with the wiring the plumber had done connecting new boiler, programmer and wireless thermostat receiver to the existing y-plan wiring centre
he had also added the fused spur below the boiler as original heating system was plugged in to a switched socket.
what an absolute mess cables were clipped like washing lines across airing cupboard, cpc used as satisfied in cylinder stat , cpc used as ch on in programmer nothing sleeved up either to make it worse , 13 amp fuse in switched spur, existing 2.5 meb to gas and linked of this with a bit of 4mm to water. needless to say I ripped the lot out started from scratch and run in the new 10mm meb to gas and water and to top it off look at his gas pipe for the new boiler straight in front of the 2gang socket in the kitchen. The plumber had also issued a niceic domestic installer MWC for the work he done!!! looks like this scam will give any 1 a membership.

did she have the boiler fitted under a eco grant system ??????

What a cowboy!

no she is paying for it, luckily she has only paid the deposit and hasn't settled him up yet. he was reluctant to come back as was saying that's nothing wrong with it. he is going to come back and move the gas pipe (if he wants the rest of his money) and shes going to deduct 300 notes as the cost of having me out to correct his wiring lol

Did you cost 300 to install the wall socket? Why install it behind the pipe when space is at the side of the pipe? I think you cause trouble for customer making difficult to use the socket.

Do you really think JARIS is genuine??

 

[davesparks]

If that's a gas pipe then it certainly does not comply with gas regulations ( law) so a quick call to gas safe will drop him in some rightly deserved excitement

Gas pipes need to be min of 50mm away. Thats plumbers for you. He should be with a scheme like NIC and that would never happen.

50mm?

That's the separation required between pipes and cables

The separation required between pipes and sockets is different.

There is a cable behind that socket hole is'nt there? No difference in my book.

50mm away from what? NIC now your having a giraffe.. If NIC did gas I would be a gas fitter for a few quid donation to their fund

You're book doesn't matter, the gas rules make a differentiation between sockets and cables.

50mm from cables and if my memory serves correctly it must be 100mm from sockets
