Could you live with the death of your family.

That is all you have to ask when it comes down to it.

If no, get cert and gas safe number, if he fails to provide report to police.

If yes, you are scum.

2 solid options there, pick wisely.

Trade price mentioned above somewhere is somewhere around £300 including the dreaded for the boiler + the bits'n'bobs. So MrS is on £300 for the day, about, I'd guess.

Dumb ways to die... so many dumb ways to die.

On the plus side the carbon monoxide / explosion should sort out the rat issues for you.

Basic safety checks pending your decision.

1) Turn off all appliances and watch your gas meter. Does it turn? Yes = bad

2) Check for leaks on Mr Singh's gas joints with soapy water or some forming kitcjhen spray - any bubbles? Yes= bad.

3) Get a CO meter with a numeric display showing accurarte ppm (or whatever appropriate units are) and check boiler area against normal background readings

4) Make your decision.

In the spirit of helpfulness, you should also go onto your Local Authority website and enter your address into the Building Control search function to see if the works are revealed. If they are not you have to ask your plumber why. If he won't or cannot ensure that this happens, you have been ripped of.


If he can't and you continue to use the boiler, at best you invalidate your home insurance and will struggle to sell your house.

The stuggling to sell your house bit, is not exactly true.

What will happen is that, when you fill out all the forms for the solicitors they will ask you whether you've had any notifable works done, whether you had the correct permitts etc.

They will ask whether you've had a new boilder fitted. When and if there is any warranty on it and when it was last serviced. They will also require the gas safe certificate or building control inspection certificate.

If you can't provide those then obviously you stand to loose your buyer which might cost you some money depending on how far along in the process, however what is more likely is that you will be made to purchase an indemnity policy to cover the issue.

I know because the plumber forgot to register the new boiler at the last house. And the solicitors where tooing and frowing about it. Fortunately for me my plumber was a gas safe registered engineer who genuinely forgot because he was so busy. So once he registered it I was able to get a certificate emailed over and all was right with the world.

Btw the certificate comes from gas safe not from singhpal.

For sure it won't help, but it's not the show stopper people keep making it out to be.

I'd be far more concerned about it actually killing someone, blowing my house up, not getting any kind of warranty on the boiler or the work, not being able to get anyone else to work on it and having to pay to have it redone.
