    Totally agree and it could prevent harm to some person by highlighting dangerous installations.It is always useful for professionals to identify and publish poor workmanship. I as a consumer would welcome being advised of a problem in my home. Keep them coming!

    You wouldn't want to mess with the valve brothers especially the safety side of the family...

    It's the T and P crowd I'd be watching out for. They can really let loose if they get too hot and bothered. .




    Ok.. I'll get my coat and see myself out.

    Why didn't they make the casing out of the same material as the name tag?
    It's still in perfect condition ;)

    A chimney off an ACV oil boiler in a scout hall. They then built a store room around it for canoes and tents. And also left a sheet of plywood against !!!

    They thought the hole/gap in the far wall was good enough for ventilation and fumes to escape.

    Or at the very least, box over it and paint the box..
    It is astounding the level of shoddy work that some people will accept.

    2 in the bush is safer than 4 in a boiler.
    Unusual as it was a straight 20' SS chimney.

    I remember all those adverts on the side of vans 'train to be a water meter installer, 'earn €€€€€€'. I guess this is the result.
