That soil pipe hasn't got enough fall on it.

It's all very jammed together and not exactly very serviceable, but what else is wrong Shaun?
Edit, - that looks like the pipework is permanently bypassed?

 

[ShaunCorbs]

soldering is interesting

Looks like they wipe the joints. I think that is fine to do with leaded soldering and looks alright if done neatly. But I think a lot of that is rough and also it has been more like spreading solder all over.
I still think there is something wrong with the pipework. Looks like the bypass is irrelevant as the pipes are already joined. Or am I wrong?

But behind the bypass valve, - it looks in photo as if the pipes are joined together with a tee off going to an elbow?

You are right Shaun. My mistake, I can see it know. It had the illusion of a pipe joining to an elbow in my eyesight.

Looks like they tried to pack it all within the width of one kitchen cabinet, what floor stander is that btw Shaun?

I was wondering about the same. Looks similar to an oil boiler - Grant Vortex

Firebird?

How is this for an install. Wonky boiler, piles all over the shop and can you imagine having to change the cylinder?

 

[Best]

I arrived to service a Warmflow combi oil boiler that was in constant use and looked on the outside wall and asked the guy where the flue was. He said, It is in here somewhere, and started to pull the turf up to reveal this.

And the boiler room is part of the basement of the house and the young couple have a baby.

Do I see a water main down there as well best ?
