Shocking shoddy work mate. What did you do with the ho , did you turn it off? Or did you just AR it?

I had recently a free standing cooker and I had no stability brackets, no stability chain, cooker not levelled, bayonet not 750mm from floor, and too close to the worktops no space. I was unsure about the judgement and called gas safe and they said to all not NTC ;/ weird .. I learned different things

It is all out mate. New Hob going in next week with butterfly isolation in the cupboard and new rigid pipework to Hob.

That’s the way forward harvest. I had a similar case recently where a customer had few engineers who apparently checked for a gas leak but couldn’t find it. I went out for a blocked sink and as soon as I walked in i said you have got a gas leak. So, i started With letby and tightness test and it dropped immediately. Turned out to be the hob and i turned it off.

Why did you need to phone GS? Only thing potentially above NTCS is if it was too close - and then only with signs of distress. Not all cookers need any space.

I phoned because I wasn’t sure how to judge this therefore I called them up. The way it looked and was installed, i would have AR without second thought. I phoned the cooker company and made sure about the space though.

Oha, that Must have been done by someone who is a diyer or doesn’t care at all. There is absolutely no pride behind the work.

Yep sure did they know its total s---- !The problem is the installer is local to me and I often bump into him but had to say something personally I will never mix manufacturers pipe and fittings and I am sure theres better ways of first fixing that job . Kop

Oha harvest it’s actually on old version of rems.. it still has a wire. I’d actually prefer cordless but as long as it works I won’t buy a new one. You can get already crimping machines for a decent money. Definitely worth the penny. I don’t solder no more I used to a little when I used to be an apprentice and when I got here in uk but have changed back to crimping.

Thanks scott, it’s nothing major but sometimes you cannot make gold out of a bad install. But I think the customer is happy that’s important.

Did you get it second hand?

I got my first one from my old company. Once I left the country I got my second one from my mate which is kind of second hand. But as mentioned still with a wire. I would most like get a cordless one if I was you. I’m super happy with it. It really speeds the works up, it’s no hazard to the property, you can cut live water pipes / put a valve on and crimp. Had to do this many times.
