Depends though doesn't it? If an engineer knows that it's a dodgy install ie non-commissioned appliance then doesn't he have a duty to cap it on that basis.

Yea but it might of been commissioned but the tenant has lost / binned the paper work, the only way you could have an idea is look at the install if it all looks correct and fga is fine

We don't live in a perfect world there has to be give and take

Same sinero someone moves into a house and they want you to check there boiler but have no paperwork as the last owners lost it / didn't leave it when they moved,
 
Point is though mate much as we'd like it to be a gas safety is never as thorough as a service or as a commissioning. You're working on the basis that the appliance has been correctly installed by a trained engineer and that upon commissioning everything was set up as per mis and that the actual stability, pipework, hanging brackets etc are all good

Well I'm sure if you told her it requires a service also she would get it done

And them points can be done at the time

Agreed mate but I'd rather err on the side of caution. Particularly as they are saying that it was never registered with gs/LBC or the boiler manufacturer. To be honest it sounds dodgy to me but then maybe I'm over suspicious. My point being, that based on a recent experience of mine where guy got his mate to install and wanted me to commission for the price of a gas safety and I told him exactly how it is and that if he wanted it commissioning then it would be on my terms and at my price.
 
I honestly don't thinks it's a case of her having a dodgy install & now wanting it checked.

I think the paperwork is lost

If I smelt a rat id bin it & not get involved & waste my time.

I don't want to sound like I'm making obstacles but I just get sick of people thinking they are getting one over the system and getting things on the cheap because they don't want to do things correctly.

No one saying it was never registered

They're saying it was but can't find paperwork.

If she was telling me on the quiet a non GS person fitted it, I'd walk away. I'm not interested in dodgyness!

What boiler is it? Is it worth registering it with manufacturer for extended warranty? I just get very suspect of people who can't remember who they've paid a couple of grand too for the install. I'd be happy for one of my customers to call me re a warranty or LBC issue as I know I register everything properly. It's just too coincidental when none of its done

Yea get your point and normally you can tell , eg no / not many clips , soldering all over the place / compression joints used instead, boiler not level

If it was me and I was happy with the install eg plenty of clips, boiler level and flue screwed and taped and passed all the tests I wanted I would be happy

But you have to go install by install eg can't class them all in the same bracket
 
Had a very similar conversation with a nice recently widowed lady who strongly suspected that hubby had a mate install the boiler, no receipt, no paperwork sent off etc. Told her for her sake and the sake of the children to get it serviced and all checked over.

Prob only 2 year out the box warranty mate so may not be registered with Glowworm but still needs gas safe/LBC registration. Sorry I'm not having a go but I hate when others do it properly and some idiots don't bother which makes extra work for others. I hope she puts some cash your way for helping out

Yeah, the GS person will charge & I'll charge for my time

I'm not doing favours for people I don't know anymore no matter how old they are

I gotta make a living, no more nice guy charity good old boy he'll do it for a cup of tea.

No your not mate but your airing on the side of caution as we have t see it 🙂 which we all should do
 
Whoever takes the job will charge accordingly & make sure it's safe. They've got to protect their GS membership also
 
Is this the same boiler as the other thread - condense just poking out the wall?
 
See if you can post the job on the forum rocket then you could go along as well.
 
As its a Glow-Worm boiler call them first, with address & Post code, it could have been registered to GS by Glow-Worm if installer was a member of rewards club, if not then call GS and ask them, if it is registered they will send a duplicate cert (For a Charge) If none of these it can still get registered but will need re-commissioning , and that could prove difficult, as you need to find someone prepared to do it
