Hi,
was wondering if it's possible to install a new boiler myself and then pay to have it checked by a certified gas safe registered engineer.
I'm currently a Petty officer in the Royal navy serving on a nuclear submarine. I have a Hons degree in marine engineering and I am a CAT B nuclear Engineer. I think what I'm trying to say is I have 8 yrs experience in multi engineering disciplines i.e hydraulics, electrics, Gas turbines, and nuclear propulsion. If I had the time I would love to qualify as a certified gas safe engineer.At the moment I spend a lot of time away. I'm not trying to save money, but by fitting the boiler myself it's just to have the pleasure of installing a boiler and possibly installing the central heating in my self-build house when I finish in the navy. If it's a no go, then I'll look into becoming gas safe certified myself.
Many thanks for reading this.
 
hayjay your swearing may be acceptable in your sardine tin but it is not on here. i see you apologised as requested but then took it away later on in your post. goodbye.
 
Well, the grey area has been erased - he was a complete @rsehole after all.
He backtracked faster than a smackheads giro!
With all those qualifications, it's a shame he never learnt to spell things like quote, button, chasing and Croppie.
 
I thought his back tracking was quite convincing, one of the better types of those posters. At least he had a decent come back. Farewell hayjay.
 
After all that it was for a plot of land in the Scottish highlands. Probably doesnt even have gas :)
 
He wasnt too bad really.
He started off a bit on the wrong foot but at least he accepted what we said and sort of come around.....


Next time you lot go for a dip in the sea you might be torpedoed

only done this once,... still have the odd sleepless night.
 
Plus if you had a few million nuclear propulsion units like there is boilers there would be a lot more leaks and issues.
