Ahhh is there an M&E plumbing contractor in North East that can help me

[ShaunCorbs]

Hi Shaun - thanks mate. Even with secondary returns, etc - can the situation be rectified given part of the plumbing has been done in 22mm branching into 15mm? I don't want to rip it out as 4 of the rooms have been acoustically over-boarded and skimmed

How close could you get to the 22mm and what's he done t off the 22mm to each appliance with 15mm ??

Hey all,

Thanks for so much for the replies. Bosch didn't spec the salamander pump...that was the plumber who cocked up the pipework. Sigh.

Can anyone recommend a good mechanical consultant and plumber in the Yorkshire area that can help? The problem is that a lot of the M&E firms seem too big to care about a job this size, but it's too large for the smaller plumbing firms.

None of this would have been needed if the plumber had just followed Bosch' spec.

Did you ask him why he's done it his way and not the specd way ?

Yeah he said he did it in 22mm to 15mm because his "experienced mate" told him Bosch had way over spec'd it and he'd always seen piping done in 22mm into 15mm. He also said that 'no point doing it in 28mm to 22mm when the inlet valves for all the showers are 15mm'

TBH I would get rid of him based on his replys

And it all depends on distance more length bigger pipe required

Try here, see if anyone bites:

Find a Plumber, Tiler or Electrician

I'm puzzled by why work that clearly doesn't meet a written spec is a problem for you and not the plumber who installed it wrongly. Have they gone bust?

Plumber is an individual. Won't be able to cover cost of materials (walls were thermally upgraded before being acoustically sealed and skimmed) let alone labour for other specialist trades. He has cocked this up royally but refuses to accept it will make a difference - believes Bosch over spec'd. At this point, priority for me is to assess impact, understand way forward as I don't want the other trades men being held up. Suing him at this stage doesn't help anyone. All pipework has been halted but theres still 2 thirds of the remaining property left to pipe up and for the boiler / cylinders / pumps etc to be installed.

Yeah I'm in York - about 30mins from Leeds.

Hi mate, yeah I'm in York - is that local enough for you? Would be good to have someone take a look / chat with plumber who did the cock up to see if there's some way forward. I will also ring around some M&E outfits tomorrow to see if a proper design can be done. @ShaunCorbs - do you know anyone you can recommend? I have CAD drawings.
