Once again thanks to all who have taken an interest. Here's the flue for those who asked.
https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=A04E9DE918A219DC!21458&authkey=!AOrb4xf1MoQi0gw&ithint=folder,
I wonder whether the white flue extension should be showing above the roof (yes I know it's a bit rough but it has since been re-tiled)
Yes this is the work of a qualified Gas safe engineer ID and number checked with photo on the register and no the commissioning sheet (Benchmark?) has not been fully completed.
He is a young man and he says he wants me to be happy with the installation so I will give him a second chance to put things right before going to Gas Safe.
As a layman there appear to be four levels of competence:
1) Best practice as espoused by your members
2) Manufactures recommendations being the corporate nod to best practice
3) Building regulations widely drawn and open to interpretation but differs to manufacturers regulations
4) Manufacturers minimum standards which vary from company to company
I think the industry still has some way to go to impose a minimum professional standard for at present the alternatives for the average customer are pick a contractor with references /feedback or employ a seperate specifier to select a contractor and then audit his work but at what cost?
Sorry rant over in the end I suppose you just can't legislate for character.
Once again thanks to all who took an interest.
