Gas Rating dfe with no data plate?

[AWheating]

I went onto a job where i knew lads doing 12 plus a day with maxol 5 units with fires, 1 to 2 other fires and convector heaters in each property. Most of the time id check the name of the last engineer and know if i was in for bad one. you would get the usuall "why are you removing the fire? the last few guys never did that". I found some really bad things, even catchments filled above the appliance spigs.

now i see alot of service engineers just enter a property with there FGA and a few screwdrivers, even tho the MI requires you to strip, inspect and clean when needed. The problem is they are coverd by the contract, if they screw up its a work mate who gets them out of the dodo.

Same in my game AW, the guv used to moan at me for my site times until I asked him to compare my call back rate to others. Only problem is I now find I have to cover their backsides to the customers for the same pay!

When you say strip and clean where needed, do you mean if combustion proves to be wrong, or do some boilers require it regardless?

It depends what your doing, when i worked for BG, it was just an inspection ( so long as FG analysis was within tolerance )...but then they never claimed it was a service. Full manufacturers service involves cleaning H-E....
