We're talking 33 boilers in a new build.
Of which 12 have been installed by a non gsr plumber before I got there, but we fixed the f-ups, and then 21 by 6 gsr including me. There has been some flue upsizing on 4 boilers, later discovered by me to be unnecesary, and some arguing along the way with the 'inspector', nothing worth mentioning though.
Anyway, I commission the boilers. They have been running at this stage for weeks, no problems.
Clerk of works comes, condems the 33 boilers within 1 hour, based on:
- Badge missing on one of the boilers. Badge dissapeared after commissioning. It leaves some holes on the front casing, but they dont reach through so I left it running.
- Unclipped flue on one boiler. Theres clips every 1.5m at least, but not visible through inspection panel. Instead its assumed the flue is resting on plasterboard.
- Flue connection inside the wall. This is a telescopic flue that wasnt long enough to reach through the inside wall and is partly inside a drywall. I missed this one I admit.
But surely this cant be legal, to just condemn 33 boilers based on some minor issues on 3, maybe 4 boilers? I wasnt there on the day of the inspection and this kind of shocked me.
What do you guys say. Do I have options here?
