I installed a boiler for a family friend, She had a BG contract that she had tied herself into. They quoted 3 grand for a boiler replacement, i managed to shave a few quid off!
Anyway, she had a BG engineer come and inspect the install????
Is this something they do?
He said that the 1''1/2 waste pipe that was vertically piped to a limestone soakaway could freeze and needed to be lagged.................... it was minus 14 last week and it didnt miss a beat!
He then told my customer the flue was 1.5mm falling the wrong way and the condense would run down the wall!
He said that due to the what he had found remedial work would be priced at 327 quid
OK so the boiler has been in for 7 months and not a drop has ran down the wall, also if the condense is going to run down the wall and how on earth is the 1"1/2 condense waste pipe going to freeze with the condense running down the wall, there would be nothing to freeze surely
This has really put my back up, I called there complaints department today and filed a formal complaint, I have asked gas safe to go and to a thorough check of the installation.
I have the guys number and will be calling him tomorrow.
Surely they should not be able to make up such rubbish and get away with it!
I will be hunting for BG installs from now on
