Discuss Illegal hot water tank install in the Plumbing Jobs | The Job-board area at PlumbersForums.net
Novice Q here, but why are gas-safe involved in a hot water tank, which I would have thought would be water (plumbing) rather than gas. Gas not being involved in a storage tank?
(never too old to learn )
Hello Dave you ok mate explained that one ok bud ha ha but as you say its all a money making exercise, but on the other hand someone has to police it we all know for every cylinder registerd theres probably ten times more that dont . Cheers kopThe cynic in me says it's because it's simply a potential income stream
Agreed but it causes problems if you should want to sell the property the solicitor will want to see that certificate of compliance and a paper trail back to the installer it helps to keep the installations to a certain standard, but many get fitted and forgot about as you say. KopWhen replacing a hot water tank, how many peeps notify BC. Maybe you should, but replacing an existing unit.... How many do?
Lord help me here then, House is 60 years old and very little in the way of "certification". Whether work carried out "professionally" or by me.Agreed but it causes problems if you should want to sell the property the solicitor will want to see that certificate of compliance and a paper trail back to the installer it helps to keep the installations to a certain standard, but many get fitted and forgot about as you say.

Also ever tried making a warrantee claim on an unregistered cylinder (or for that matter a boiler).Agreed but it causes problems if you should want to sell the property the solicitor will want to see that certificate of compliance and a paper trail back to the installer it helps to keep the installations to a certain standard, but many get fitted and forgot about as you say.

I don't think householders realises that it is their responsibility as the owner to ensure work that requires notification is.
It is a shame a few more of them are prosecuted when this doesn't happen, it might make the rest think twice about employing those that can't or don't self certifier!!
It would also maybe encourage those who don't do things properly to do so.!!
Absolutely, the problem as we know is anyone in this country can call themselves a Plumber so Joe public can't see the wood from the trees.Without disagreeing, how many householders know all the intracasies of plummbing law, gas law, building regs, etc?
Is that not the reason to go to those that should?
