Is the rad too close to the wall?

 

[Leo21]

And brains and common sense and pride in there work etc etc etc.

Saffron Walden by any chance?

Spot on.

 

[Jollysoutherner]

Have to look at it most mornings waiting to turn left

 

[mjt]

There's no hope for mankind... looks terrible :lol:

Paint the pipe white - jobs a good 'un
Paint the tape measure while you're at it too!!!

 

[chris watkins]

Here is a good one, just come through on my mail they are asking us to confirm what is wrong with it, might be a tad easier & quick to say what is right !!!
Here is the best bit, can any one guess where it is installed ?

 

[Mike Jackson]

I'm guessing training college where it was installed by the caretakers pet monkey.

 

[chris watkins]

Its kind of poetic justice !!!! for all those poorly installed jobs we all come across where we have quoted & then been undercut by our foreign cousins.

I kid you not!!!, all the details & email address checks out but still think I am being had.
If it is genuine, suggestions please as to how I should reply.

Full email reads -
Dear Sirs,
From your website I know that you do not service north-west London nevertheless I would be most grateful for your advise on badly installed Megaflo 145DD cylinder (image attached).
Apparently there are three major issues that need correcting:

1. no inlet group installed
2. no drain of valve
3. distance from D2 of the pipe to the elbow is too short (300 mm required)

Could you please confirm that this is indeed the case and also, what would be the approximate cost involved. I would like to have an independent assessment before I start looking for a local plumber.

Even if it is "true" the guy wants you to diagnose all the problems so he can get another idiot in to sort them out on the cheap! What a plonker!

 

[BLOD]

aparantely this cylinder install took two "plumbers" a full day!

 

[Whyme]

Why arse about doing a nasty not well done bend you could hang a towel on. Then a bit of dirty hand printed pushfit..I think we should all roll like that and make the fortune people think we do..

Sorry, I won't do it again

 

[tolly]

Sorry, I won't do it again

I reckon they ran out of EF Elbows, Probably speedfit or compression elbows actually

 

[Leo21]

It looks carp, but the water will flow better through that than elbows.

Customer called to have damp patch on wall investigated.

Went in to loft to find condensate pipe from boiler lashed into cast iron s&v pipe. Not sealed in & fall on pipe away from where it enters s&v pipe, nicely dripping back down into the room below!

All work done by a GSR, just too lazy to do it properly!

 

[Riley]

Genius use of space or plumbing abortion (as there were three other walls rad could've gone on)

 

[Ermintrude]

You see an ega sticker and you just reach for your pad.

 

[morganb]

Saw this whilst I was doing a boiler service. The customer was rather proud of the job that was done with the bathroom. It's times like this I just nod in agreement.

How'd they plumb a toilet in sideways?!
