I'm hesitant to just unscrew the nut because it looks like a permanent fitting glued to the pex and...

    Help new boiler installation not registered at gas safe

    Hi all My boiler installation was done by a gas safe registered installer but he didn’t register it (May 18). What should I do? I can’t get him to respond to me at the moment. I need a gas safe certificate and can’t get it if it’s not registered is that right? Thanks

This is the case with London taxi drivers who...
