Regarding my deleted post and locking of the thread the forum rules say and I quote "We cannot and will not give advice on the installation or repair of boilers, cookers or ANY gas appliances for your own safety unless you can prove you are in the industry."

Now the op was asking about a thermostat and the connections....this is not installing or repairing a gas appliance, boiler, cooker......Its connecting a thermostat. Maybe you need to update your forum rules.

Which types of boilers require a Gas Safe certified installer for a Nest Thermostat installation?
In the UK, most boilers do not require a Gas Safe installer for a Nest Thermostat installation. Typically, only combi boilers with a functional case do. However, it can be difficult to tell which type of boiler you have, so it’s best to get a qualified professional to help you.

Its not me....I gave advice on the connections of a thermostat and the post was deleted.

lol because regulation 6 of the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations wouldn't help your argument?

Yes it does can you touch the gas valve if yes you need to be gas safe but then you would need to remove the case so you would need to be gas safe just incase it doesn't have a secondary door/ seal

Stop digging a hole to Australia

The information ShaunCorbs gave is correct. You, however, are wrong.

Want to keep digging?

yes that would be your opinion that Shaun is correct. Why are you asking if I want to keep digging? I'm just having a debate....which seems to be if I'm not fully in agreement with the majority then your swinging the ban hammer?

whyre you trying to encourage Joe public to mess with gas appliances is what it boils down to. You've tried to justify this on previous threads it just doesn't wash

No ban hammer yet. What you need to understand is that we take a wide and sweeping view with regards the removal of boiler cases, decorative or otherwise.

If you are not gas safe you do not do it.

THOSE ARE THE RULES OF THIS FORUM.

Your opinion doesn't matter on the subject. There are far too many manufacturers and models to start saying you can remove this one, but not that one or that one.

Now, you may disagree. That's your right. But you will respect the rules and abide by them, as you agreed to when you signed up to the forum.

Otherwise I will exercise the bit that says the mods decision is final.

Capiche?

No that's not correct either Shaun. As long as they are competent to do so and either have it tested an notified using a third party who is either registered with napit or stroma or contact LABC before hand a they send one of their registered contractors to carry out the necessary tests and inspection (for a fee of course) then they are well within their right to install the circuit.

Hi lee
Don't get yourself banned. We all know sparkys take the casing off to connect electrics. The point here is. A responsible forum, following gas safe rules cannot give out advise to the general public, that would contrivine gas safe regulations.
There had been numerous times, I have gone to a boiler where a sparky has been called to find an electrical fault and the case has been just pushed partially back on. This seal on lots of boilers forms part of the flue/ combustion chamber, so you can understand why you have to understand the process of how a gas appliance works.

Think you need a revisit as if I remember right competent person has been replace with skilled/ qualified person

Side note good look getting a spark to sign any diyers/ not skilled work off,

Be like us signing a landlord who fitted his own boiler off

Yes but if you look at the
definition of competent person in part 2 it leads you to the relevant parts such as skilled, instructed and ordinary persons as defined. I would never sign off a diy'ers work in a million years but there are schemes out there such as Napit and Stroma that offer this as an add on to your registration.....I don't agree with it but it exists.
