Thanks for your input.. I am a fussy bugger but I actually assumed that with all the hype over the essential mandating of gas safe rgi's, that standards were very high... Needless to say, I've had a rude awakening and now have eroded trust in tradesmen.. Common for me.

Gas Safe Registration is about making sure that the installation is safe and has been properly tested not so much whether the pipework is pretty to look at.

If you are fussy about the 'finish' on the work to be done then you need to see examples (or photographs) of their recent work to check that their normal working standard matches your expectations.

Well as far as I'm concerned it's a fail on all fronts but hey ho.... Happy new year...
 
tbh its a average install

it wont matter that much on the tf1 as its just swirl the other way round the magnet but you can swap it round easily since your an engineer takes less than 10 seconds

Laco has that trait... He used fernox flux... Not a problem, it seemed a good clean flux but my main gripe was that he never cleaned the copper before fluxing, even when obviously tarnished, that left even him doubting some joints when drips appeared after power up.. It was condensation but he doubted his own joints.

No powerflush... Brand new full house rads and copper.. My own installation which he was impressed with. The original fitter was impressed.. Even offered me a job.. All properly sized etc...

get him back to fill out the benchmark and reg with intergas for warranty and you will be ok
 
I have to say with the greatest of respect I’d still be powerflushing and pressure testing someone else’s work. But if as said above he’s done none of the paperwork then why would he bother?
