Complaint against British Gas

colder up where you are

Just a bit, but we get used to it :smile:

If i'm doing a soakaway i drill from floor level at an angle so that the pipe lands under the ground. That is where a 900mm long sds max comes in handy :smile:

Is that to avoid pipe to be run outside on the wall ? So from low level internal straight to the soakway

900long do you run it in 32mm or 22mm ?

900long do you run it in 32mm or 22mm ?

Usually 1 1/2" Never 3/4". Its too cold up here for that.

If gas safe pull it i will go back and do the remedial work, i contacted my local gas safe inspector today, meeting him there tomorrow!

He is confident there is no problem!

if gas inspector says its ok ask for it in writing (good luck with wi that one) and take and shove it a sore place on the BG "engineer", seriously if the gas safe bod says its fine then thats a trading standards/fraud issue they are trying to con your customer and giving you a bad reputation, place some local ads offering free safety checks on BG installs, then tell ask how much they paid and say "HOW MUCH?" then tell them you would have done it properly for half that and you will certainly service every year for them

If it is cold enough even a 4" with a trickle of water will freeze. See a few of those over the years.

thats because your several degrees further north you get the cold and northern lights

Never seen the light since i fell off the wagon :lol:

 

[REDSAW]

he wont care about the condensate pipe thats down to building control

and why is bg complaining too??

 

[tweakyboy]

Any news so-solar?

 

[sparra1100]

There is about 300mm of waste pipe which drops straight into the ground and terminates into a soakaway!

If it made it through the last blast of minus 14 i am not losing any sleep over it !!!!!

true right i wouldnt worry either

 

[so-solar]

Meeting GS inspector tomorrow, spoke to building control and got no where, spoke to british gas and they denied it was ever said!

Will keep you posted

whats that beeping noise?

oh yea its BG reversing

 

[Kev the gas]

The condense pipe should not run straight into the ground, it should be 500mm away from the wall.

I have picked up a bit of work lately altering condense pipes installed by other installers, BG seem to be having a purge @ the moment.

 

[so-solar]

The soakaway should be 500mm away from the house, Not sure where you would buy 500mm clips from!

 

[so-solar]

This condense does not need altering kev, It is well above the requirements needed
