Problem with gas

[Davetenant]

Hello guys First post here, but have been browsing this gold mine of information for months. I am not really a plumber per say, although I have some experience. Anyway my boiler broke down a few months ago neater heat something or other it was an oldie. I took some time to get a few quotes for a replacement and the ''cheapest'' was an outrageous 1685.00!!!! for a baxi wall hung boiler.
So I decided to fit a new boiler myself, As far as I am aware, its legal to do so in your own home. I even managed to use they old flue hole, for the new flue as I am a crafty old fox. The supply for gas main that was already there was in 1/2" I think, so just used that jobs a good-un.
Anyway when ever the hob is on and the boiler comes on the flames on the hob die out nearly, I was reading that there may be a problem with my regulator on my meter it may need adjusting, whats the best possible way to go about this?

Welcome to the forum, I'm sure somebody can answer your question, but not me. How much of the fitting the boiler did you do yourself?

Unless you are Gas registered you won't get any advice here and I would seriously suggest you get someone who is qualified in.

wait for it!!!!!

Unfortunately for you the law states that it is illegal to install a gas appliance unless you are GSR, even in your own home. Get a professional in to sort out the problem.

You need a gsr in to look at your boiler. We cannot and will not give advice on the installation or repair of boilers for your own safety.

Please go to Gas Safe Register | Ensure your gas engineer is registered. or post a thread in the 'I'm looking for a plumber / gas engineer' section of these forums remembering to include your location.

If you are gsr please increase your post count to 10+ then send a pm to either Gas man or Redsaw who will then check you and then give you access to the gsr private forum.

Thank you.
