Todays - What grinds my gears *ARCHIVE*

[Diggs]

The point of a CO2 detector is to check for CO2 resulting from the combustion process, not to check for unburned gas. A100man isn't suggesting otherwise.

Best way to check for gas leaks is to close all windows, tape up the doors, wait for 24 hours then light a cigar. Never fails.....






Please don't take this advice

Being registered for gas safety testing is different to being registered for fitting new boilers.

If he gives you his Gas Safe registration number then you can see what he's registered to do.

Ask him for his registration number?

[Freddyfruitba...]

[King29]

OK. I got that number, what do I do with it?

[Freddyfruitba...]

[King29]

This is what I get.

Daft question, but does the photo match the bloke who fitted your boiler?

[King29]

Yes. It's him.

Now you can contact the Gas Safe register people to check that SinghPal has notified them of the installation.

I think I've said this before but after a summer of various events I'll say it again... sketchy bag searches grind my gears. If you're going to do it, do it properly or don't waste my time. A quick glance into the main compartment of a rucksack (which has two draw-string bags containing waterproofs and puncture repair kit, plus a camera bag and various zipped pockets,) isn't a proper security check, so why bother?

[King29]

OK. Well at least I know the installer was/is legit.

The Building Regulations state that the Local Authority must be notified within 30 calendar days of the installation of a new gas heat producing appliance e.g. boiler, fire (but excluding flueless solely cooking appliances) and their associated heating/hot water systems.
This is the responsibility of your registered engineer and can be done by them either online or by telephone.


Still time to go.

"In England and Wales, the Building Regulations require all Local Authorities (LA) to be informed when a heat producing appliance (boiler, fire etc) is installed in a property.

The Building Regulations and Gas Safe rules of registration require that Gas Safe registered businesses comply with their geographical area regulations by notifying (i.e. self-certifying) any relevant appliances they’ve installed to the LA. If you own your property, the responsibility also falls upon you to ensure that Building Regulations are complied with, so it’s in your interest to ensure that an engineer notifies any installation work."

I just phoned him, he said he'll do it before the end of next week, he's a lot on. I trust him, he gave me all the details I requested and he checks out skills wise. I have no reason to disbelieve him.

[bhinso]

Crisis averted then.

How are you getting on with the rats, and Doreen next door?

SinghPal. The road ahead is exploded.

[Ste]

Few pages back...

[bhinso]

I bet she'll be triggered again though if King's house explodes after SinghPal episode...
