might get this thread going again, the gas supply pics were piped around flower pots and wheelie bins originally.
the safety valve on a vokera mynute was capped because it was dripping in the hall of the apt. an rgi said it would "keep the heat on during bad weather". the expansion vessel had failed.

Has anyone seen the video on Youtube of the job a polish plumber did on a house in Cork.

Waste water pipes running accross the ceilings.

Its so shocking,yet so funny to watch.

Them pictures are horific :eek:

Don't know how people got away with not running safety valves outside ,it's nearly as bad as capping it off.

Micky Dolenz · 25-06-2011 10:58am

This left me speechless: Inner flue not even connected causing the boiler to explosive ignition.

yoshytoshy · 25-06-2011 11:28am

Micky ,was it the builder who done that to the flue ??
That acrylic plastering is expensive Ive heard and they do something like that???

It was the SEAI Registered external insulation contractor that did it.

All the crap they put us through and they have complete cowboys doing work for them.
Some things never change.

And they would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for those pesky RGI's :pac:

yoshytoshy · 25-06-2011 11:37am

Im suprised the glowworm tried to fire with the flue like that.

PauloMN · 25-06-2011 12:57pm

This thread makes me wonder what the ordinary Joe Soap is supposed to do when even RGI and SEAI etc. installers are making such a botch job of these things. I mean you go out of your way to use registered companies (presumably at higher cost) and you can still end up with poor (sometimes dangerous) work?

A lot of people wouldn't even notice the capped safety valve as to the untrained eye, nothing looks wrong with it. At least with some of the other botch jobs they look awful as well as everything else, but the safety valve might appear to some people as just not required for their install.

As for the "Polish plumbers" video - I don't think the sentiment of "never let a Polish plumber in your house" is very fair or helpful. I've had really good Polish tradesmen in the house and really crap Irish ones, and I'm sure the reverse can also be true - so I think it's unfair to generalise like that. It has to be said though whoever gave those plumbers (Polish or otherwise) a penny after leaving the house in that state needs their head examined.

That is outside my remit, I did however issue a notice of hazard to the property owner of which RGI will receive a copy. I then proceeded to cap off gas supply to boiler and rendered it unusable.

I have since done remedial work on the flue and the contractor paid in full before hand.

Customer......... Could you come and give my boiler a quick service ??

Engineer .......... No problem, when was it last serviced ???

Customer ......... Just last year, but it seems to have stopped :cool:

That was probably a €70 service. Change the nozzle and F**K off.

I'm getting really pissed off with the amount of twats working on gas with no come back, I had a boiler last week where a RGI fitted a 7 bar blow off by swapping over innards of the discharge valve, I'v never seen that before:mad:.

Even the very worst handyman wouldn't do that, I find it hard to believe someone could be that stupid

My gas lecturer told me of a very similar setup where standard garden hose and hoselock adapters had been used in a landlords property to supply gas in the whole property to 3 bedsits:eek:. This was in the UK. The landlord thought it fine:mad:

The tenant phoned him as they could smell gas.
