And that pipework is a mess if I'm honest. Looks a right mash up, I don't care what anyone says.

Yeah, I might ask him to do it again tbh, not sure how he will react ?!? :banghead:

WOW okay .... Do I need to post a picture of the guys van tomorrow to prove it's not me? I don't want to put the guy out of business but I will if need be!

I actually need some advice please as when I asked him about the valve he didn't think it was necessary!

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?

I think you are an air con or refrigeration guy? 2 things how did you get pictures of an incomplete install, there's is no pressure in the boiler when pics were taken, so you either blatantly did this infront of " your guy" or you fit it yourself, swaging of pipes in the 2 trades mentioned above is thier trick, I know some GSR's do this but most use sockets!

He was recommended ! We were getting a new kitchen and I thought it would be a good time to get the boiler done! The reason I can take the pictures is because I actually live here .... he's been each day to redo the floor in the kitchen, fix the ceiling, plaster, power flush etc

Perhaps it's my mistake for picking someone who can do pretty much everything and I should have gone for just someone who does boilers ...

I'm surprised no one mentioned the two little screws holding up the bracket for this big heavy boiler lol

Ideal supply it with two 8mm coach bolts and plugs that's it. We use six 150mm concrete hex screws

As do most boiler Manu's. Adequate, its the material they are going into that's important
