Here's a nice Sunday evening poll ...
I had a new Worcester combi installed in a rental property. It wasn't the easiest job due to the location so I got a (reputable!) builder to make the area good.
You can't argue they did a nice job (see photo) ... but I expected them to leave the minimum 5mm around the edges as per standard installation instructions. Instead, they filled this gap with caulk so there's no gap top/left/right.
There's plenty of ventilation as it's a huge void behind. The front fascia panel drops down fine and there are inspection ports for the flue below and above. Removing the outer case is possible but it will need to recaulked each time.
My worry is the annual CP12.
Question - Would you give a CP12 assuming there are no boiler issues? Or should I get the builders back to alter it to give better access?
Thanks in advance!
