HALL of SHAME PHOTo`s

[Ermintrude]

This is how it should have been done!

Top part leaking so,

They used a funnel to catch the drips!!

And even a pan connector right at the bottom to the clay pipe siliconed in!!

 

[Ermintrude]

Love it. Bet it stinks in summer!

 

[Whyme]

obviously first in line on the half price assorted pan connector deal at the local merch.

Last job, e168 on duo tec. 17.30 Today (Friday) just found thread to post pic.

Boiler fitted on warm front or some rubbish 3 years ago. Two local companies been out and replaced stat and one service. Other service by one of our staff. I went as subby sacked job off.

Did repair and service ...... Just leaving and I see this

Go outside? Where the f is the flue?

Oh your garage is ventilated by gap under door? I see..... Can I cap off? ..... We hardly use it so no. ( it's capped)

Building control officer / other engineers / builder / // hello?

 

[Whyme]

[SafeGasInstall]

That Nissan does need a bit of heat , just to keep the rust away ......

Not a gas man, so won't comment on the wallheater exhausting into the garage, but I do love the guttering, bit like a water feature when it's a heavy downpour 😉

 

[Ermintrude]

Just seen the running outlet drop , marble madness?

Went to do a boiler quote earlier for a lady who had just moved into the house yesterday. Firstly I smelled gas the moment I got to the front door, which was on the meter (provider side). So after calling that in I got on with the quote. Had a quick look at the gas fire when I was there, as you do, and found this. Live, in use, no closure plate. Shocking.

Nice carpet!

 

[Reg Man]

Two RIDDOR's in two pages? it gets better all the time.

 

[LPC]

Nice carpet!

She's having it up if you want first dibs on it? It's got genuine old person smell permeated into it!#

I should add the fire also wasn't fixed in any way, only thing holding it there was the gas pipe. Rather than ID or get a closure plate she opted for removal which I was happy about.

Two RIDDOR's in two pages? it gets better all the time.

Is RIDDOR a code for problem by the front door?

Serviced a boiler today and found the tank strainer round the back of the tank. The valve was covered in 2 large concrete slabs and a ton of earth and the filter bowl was literally buried over. Boiler had been serviced by the same guy for the last 10 years yet he had never even looked for a strainer. I was amazed the burner ran, it was almost solid with sludge.
Amazing.

 

[iguanamark]

this looks like a Warmfront job..........sticks out like a sore thumb

 

[Ermintrude]

This property has just had a cp13!

Went to job as one of the lads wasn't happy working on system and thought estimator had dropped one.....

Yeh yeh it's an easy combi swap.

What's that hot connected to prv instead of prv? No hot on boiler? But it's just been gas rated and bp? And a fga???? The rads don't work and boiler overheats???

Oh

Yes fire secure and closer plate sealed

 

[Ermintrude]

Are we putting trv on towel rail?

 

[AWheating]

in the last photo has somebody knicked the shower? 🙂

 

[Kyle87]

Are we putting trv on towel rail?

The one time you use your level the wrong way up and everybody gets crazy about it!!

 

[Ermintrude]

Don't think it worked! Cold and colder water was supplied from the chineese downstairs!

 

[Howsie]

Tidy

 

[Ermintrude]

I love .... Love flexi on heating systems, those and cheap ISo valves !!!

 

[LPC]

I don't know, I think I would have put one more in to get it just right.

Forgot I took this with my phone a few weeks back. This is a British Gas install. The PRV goes UP into the loft then siliconed into the stack, with the condensate pump outlet nearby doing the same.

No pipes insulated, nail in pipe clips, shoddy work all round.
