Enough of the nice stuff, back to the dodgy pics. On a small caravan site doing some remedial works after they had some new water heaters fitted and annual gas safety checks done by a local firm. A firm I sub to got called in to look at a faulty regulator and noticed that the wrong flue had been fitted to one of the vans. The old flue had been the vented type and the new flue was a standard one. The owners contacted the original firm and they said that there was nothing wrong and refused to come back. Gas Safe were contacted and came and did an inspection and highlighted faults to all three installations, mainly ventilation issues because the new heaters were 10 litre models instead of the 6 litre ones taken out.

Gas Safe wanted the original firm to come back in to carry out the work but the owner wasn't happy with that so I've ended up there to rectify the known faults and check the rest of the gas appliances.

I decided to tackle the worst van first. I did the flue to the water heater and then proceeded to carry out the annual inspection. I rectified a gas leak and then moved inside. I took the fire out to inspect the catchment space and found this.

It looks a bit rusty around the relief ventilation opening.

Removing the closure plate revealed.

I'm fairly certain that the fire wasn't removed to check the space last year, that has certainly not just happened.

Checking the ventilation to the van I found.

This was in the small bedroom and, again, looks like it has been there a lot more than a year.

Just got the other two to sort out tomorrow.

Should have taken a photo but when we moved into our place I removed the open fire from the dining room and sitting above it was the equivalent of about 5 sacks of soot. It had been an old inglenook fire which they had just put an ordinary fire into and pointed up so there was a massive ledge and gap directly above.

This one is debatable as it goes somewhere safe and visible, water wont be hot so no chance of scalding, no dirty water, just looks rubbish

 

[Howsie]

It'll run down the pipe and between the basin/cistern.

Did you do a little vomit in your mouth when you saw the colour? I did.

1980's bathroom done that way to comply with the water regs.
Up until the change in the water regs you had to have the warning pipe in a visible position where the owner would get it attended to. That was visible.
Country pattern (8") syphons were illegal (but widely used) as most people would let them run for years wasting water. Much the same as modern flush mechanisms now do.
Another old one was a connection to a bath overflow where the toilet would overflow into the bath so you would get it fixed.

[Destroyer2813]

Penthouse red or blue and harvest gold were a couple of beauties. Some mad colours were out in the 70's and 80's. You couldn't give a white one away. Nobody wanted one :lol:

I remember my dad fitting our maroon acrylic bathroom suite in the 80's, it even had a cool colour-matching acrylic shelf with mirrored sliding door compartments mounted along the top. My mates were well jealous.
