Hi folks. Bit of an update here. I've been on the job 3 days and I'm being advised these "services" are not your standard yearly service like a private job. Apparently it's only a landlords safety check, and a full service only needs to be carried out if the fga readings are out.

Thoughts please???

 

[hammers4spanner]

Sounds about right

 

[macka09]

I'm being told that it is but I don't like to think that it's my name on the paperwork!!!

 

[Scott_D]

Can you get in writing what they expect?
Their 'service' procedure?

I could ask the question I suppose.

 

[AllyBongo]

Sounds like a British Gas service!

 

[macka09]

To the guys who gave there servicing routine, what safety devices do you check other than checking the expansion vessel ??? Cheers

So in fact your doing CP12 & not servicing, two Totally different things, just make sure that you tick the NO box on form where it says about service, and find out what they are expecting you to do, (in writing as you need to cover your Arse,) Have you spoken to any of the other fitters on the company ?

 

[macka09]

It's the fitter who I went out with who told me what's what. When I first went in and spoke to the gaffer he was very vague with questions I asked him.

I do servicing for housing association.... Boiler Service normally consists of.

Tightness test.
Condense trap clean
Gas rates on full rate only. Normally combis, so on high rate.
Analyser high rate only
And safety device.
And obviously your visual checks.
I think the only thing we don't do is checking expansion vessel. Low rate analyser. And working pressure unless it's a gas fire service... And no where on the housing associations cert does it ask for all this. Mad eh.

You just need to be very carful with these company's, they usely have a very high turnover of staff, may expect you to cut corners, then if it go's **** up you get the blame, your name on Cert, could work out ok, but protect self ! get written instructions if you can.

Jtsplumbing... Your right there mate. These housing associations will blame you for everything... Good advice. Get everything they want you do in writing. Save your own back.... When hits the fan the housing association will blame you for everything. Never trust them
