No I don’t think so. Beware of John (Mr Ravenheat) he’ll try selling you a boiler.

Has he convinced you to buy a ravenheat yet?

We used to have our team meetings there years ago every meeting he’d try convincing us to install ravenheat boilers.

What is this new group inspection thing? Heard a few rumours flying around but nothing concrete or know anyone who's been on one.

On this thread??

A new one with a better/ clearer title may be better , what do you think ?

 

[Riley]

I think it’d be well received mate. Again I’ve heard about them but that’s it

 

[Scott_D]

Not sure if it’s true but on Facebook - lots of vans were broken into while the guys were inside doing their group inspection

 

[EvilDrPorkChop]

Don't really see how they can get away with it with the HSE. Gas Safe are just looking for a cheap way of not coming inspecting people. What's done in a classroom/exam isn't always the same as what quality of work people churn out, and GS have no way of telling unless they inspect jobs.

They aren’t really inspections though from what I’ve heard, that’s kind of my point. They can’t inspect someone quality of work, and then once all the cow boys realise GS aren’t coming for annual inspections regularly then god knows what type of work we’ll find

And you’ve hit the nail on the head, not enough inspectors. They aren’t wanting to employ more, they just want to run it as cheaply as possible. It’ll back fire eventually and the HSE will come crashing down on them.

Let us know how you go on, be interesting to know from someone who’s actually been.
