opinions on this install

[gasmanT]

New install in a member of my familys house by a 'Friend?' baxi combi. .

The condense has been left running into a bucket on the side until after crimbo.

The blow off has not been done at all so would empty onto the kitchen worktop .

And most important. The vertical flue termination should be 1m from an openable window but is only 270mm from the bathroom opener. The fitter told the home owner that they should not open there bathroom window until they return to lengthen the flue to above the eaves .
None of the benchmark has been filled out and it will be like this for 2 to 3 weeks .

The company are gas safe but I couldnt find the particular fitter who came to this property on there list of engineers on gs website .are these usually up to date ?

Many thanks

Has the benchmark been filled out? Is his name on any paperwork left after the install?

 

[jase158]

rules are quite clear on this!! "an appliance shouldn't be left on if uncommisioned" report it to Gas Safe!!

 

[lame plumber]

None of the benchmark has been filled out

does that answer your question AP

 

[gasmanT]

No paperwork at all .I have tried to look for this particular engineer on gs website . The company he works for is on there but he is not on the list of engineers ? Are these always up to date ?

Do not use the boiler. If the installers are that cowboy you don't know what else could be up with the install.

Call Gas Safe ASAP.

 

[Rickster123]

No names on paperwork gas safe will do diddly squat. Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings. Merry Christmas!

 

[LPC]

Pretty sure they'd have a look at the installation etc if he has the company name.

With no proof they've fitted it? I doubt it.

Still wanna see pics tho!

 

[LPC]

I'm sure he has a quote etc and i'm sure the company won't relinquish their boiler and materials so easily as to deny responsibility. He should still ring gas safe.

 

[gasmanT]

Is it worth reporting then , ? And are the companys list of engineers on gs website up to date

 

[gasmanT]

Ill get a pic tomoz . Do you really think ring gas safe ?

easy to cut the boiler off for xmas untill they return to finish. might have thought ok if you dont open window as advised as it will keep you going!
its wrong though, just dont use it?

have you paid them?
could always come tommorrow to finish, why not?

 

[snowhead]

could always come tommorrow to finish, why not?

Company Xmas party??

 

[IDCHAPPY]

Is it immediately dangerous? If so get bum Safe on the blower.... if not would they prefer no heating and hot water till after Christmas?
Conny into a bucket till a couple of days after IMHO isn't the worst sin the world, a safety valve yeah, nice to be piped to outside till commissioned but if it came to leaving a family without basic heating and hot water then I'd have to think about it.

You get the new card number over the phone when you notify change of company, I've recently done that.

The details don't appear listed under the company straight away, but checking the card number online seems to work immediately.

But the card number in this case doesn't appear to be available.

called at this house last year and eon installed boiler with condense into a bucket under boiler. said they would call back to finish.

been like it for18 months ago despite several calls!!!!

 

[Ermintrude]

Sounds like he's not qualified / registered. The pictures always appear and are more upto date than card.

Ask him on return to see card... No card = report him. Get a photo of him working on boiler.

This is shameful, but i admit that at 7pm i have got the family heating&hot water then left it running till completion the next day rather than leave them freezing till the next day..
No completion within a few days, without exceptional circumstances is terrible.

gasmanT any company can limit what is seen on the website, and a lot don't show their engineers, there's no requirement to do it, if a customer wants to check an individuals quals then they do it by using the licence number of the person, not the company reg number

 

[julesverne]

have you actually seen the guys GAS Safe ID card . he could be falsely using somebody elses registration details. if your are concerned as to the safety of the boiler then turn off the boiler/appliance call Gas safe they will come and view the installation and give you report on how safe it is. but my guessing is you will call gas safe but not turn off the appliance because that would be silly wouldnt it

 

[Taffman]

Photo and Gas Safe card please
