    New boiler install - is this acceptable work?

    The workmanship is appalling and to my mind totally unacceptable, regardless whether the job was cheap, very cheap or expensive. Being cheap is not an excuse for carrying out substandard work, and any one who thinks it is shouldn't be doing the work.

    Thermostat problems (am I being fobbed off?)

    Moving the room stat out of the lounge will not fix the problem, the lounge will still be hot when the other rooms are warm. If there is no problem with the systems flow and it is balanced correctly there is a system design fault, either lounge radiators are over sized or other rooms are under...

    Radiators not getting hot

    If the boiler fires up when the thermostat calls for heat the problem is unlikely to be the thermostat. The problem is probably boiler related especially if you say it sounds different, the best thing to do would be to get a gas safe registered boiler engineer to have a look at it.

    Just fitted a new sink.....

    It looks like it could be the condensate drain pipe, the debris in it is probably a build up from the original sink waste. The pipe may be no longer in use. Try ringing the plumber and asking him.

    Help with boiler flue

    If you are an architect you should be a bit more professional and get in the right person to advise you on the options available. Someone who is Gas Safe Registered and has Gas Boiler on their registration.

    Is gas boiler burner pressure and operating pressure the same thing?

    What your previous certificates say is irrelevant. It sounds like the engineer was unable to carry out the boiler inspection and testing needed for the landlord gas safety due to its location and accessibility. This means the engineer is unable to say it is safe.
