I don't want to offend. But who in their right mind employs a person to work on a gas appliance in their home when they clearly have a total lack of trust or faith in their abilities?! Honest opinion is the work doesn't look great. But you know that. It doesn't take an "expert" to spot that. So why are you persevering? Cheapness?

We should all put a picture of are next gas boiler installation or combi swap what do u think.
It's easy to come on here and criticise somebody's work its not the best in my option but its not the worst I've seen either.
Applumbing I agree why have somebody in ure house u don't trust doesn't make sense to me get a few more quotes from other plumbing firms ( u can get a feel for somebody who would do a good job )
A person who says then can do everything alarm bells should have been ringing straight away
Don't mean to a offend just saying

I have full trust and faith in his abilities. I've seen other work he has done and I wasn't checking up on him. I just wanted to share the whole experience with everyone on here especially as it's a relatively new boiler. In fact my first post was to decide on what boiler to get (can't leave a story unfinished can I?)

Then I started getting comments from people, which made me investigate further.

There is nothing wrong with that? I actually feel bad that I have to tell him he has done it wrong! He will actually wonder how I know!!

He knows what's wrong! He is a cowboy! Looks like it was done on a price on a Saturday by a crack addict!

Again, I did get several quotes (see first post) and I have full trust in his abilities. He doesn't do it all alone either. This is my first time that I've actually had a new boiler fitted, so I just wanted to seek experienced feedback from people on here (actually a friends recommended it ..!)

It's been an eye opener so I thank everyone!

Have u found him on GS register?

Your fitter is a cretin. The filling loop is still wrong. Long one on cold short one on ch. is he blind? In the packet he got bits out of is a diagram, it's in the book, even the freakin valve is labeled.

Swaged joints are a bit of a strange one, a soldering westco 15mm coupler costs me 11p. Is lad gas safe? Just go on website and check .... Please for your and your family's sake!

Yes he is! I checked before, and I have just checked again.

I'm inclined to believe the op about the fitter. Yes it's a bit rough, but barring swapping a few valves and the boiler not falling off the wall I'm sure it'll be safe.
Iff his works that untidy I wouldn't have him do anymore work for me, definately not the kitchen. I can't imagine what will be hidden behind the units.
