The issue is as said before, is the flue supported, my gas inspector said Wb say the rubber grommet is fine but if there is too much movement, this is dangerous. If it is sealed from outside and there is very little movement then fine, otherwise it is ar/Id. I personally wouldn't care if company told me to ar a flue for missing screw, I would stick one in, no way I feel right turning off a boiler for 1 screw. My general rule of thumb is look for the immediately dangerous to turn off. Ar is usually a quick fix and NSC so down to customer

About BG was cost.... Sure HA could find more cost effective way to manage its estate?

I think they agree too . I might have mislead slightly . I said a local HA , its actually a national ( Best not to name ) but the project was local . I believe it was a national agreement made a couple of years ago to cover service / breakdown / void checks . I think next year when its up for renewal the preference is to go back to regional agreements with local companies .

BG have hundreds of properties on contract for HA's, they are just a gas contractor like the rest of us

Ridiculously expensive and red tape galore. Thought outsourcing was supposed to save money and improve service ?
wb and a few others may state the rubber is a good enough seal, but the also suggest the flue is sealed correctly from the inside using sand and cement or expanding foam.
unless the manufacturers state in writing it can be done then it must be sealed. I have attended 2 boilers this year, one a vokera boiler that had both been AR'd by the manufacturers engineer for mot being patched up outside with sand and cement.
as mentioned by others BG has several smaller companies like ph jones that do large HA and council service and main contracts. The reason why the are not rebranded as BG is because it would increase these companies overheads and running costs which would make competing for such work alot harder with the small profit margins.

I think its to do with centralised procurement teams in these large organisations . They try these things ( National agreements ) thinking it'll reduce work ( & staffing levels ) at local level . Costs a fortune to find out it doesn't work & then go back to how they did things originally.
