illegal

Hi I've recently moved into in a top-floor flat, in an old building, and the top of the soil vent pipe is in the attic, without a durgo - which explains the odour in my flat... I'm having difficulty getting the letting agency to tend to this, so does anyone know if it's actually illegal to...

Been getting some quotes on getting new boiler and some radiators fitted. We had planed to get some pipe work chased into a wall whilst getting some of the work done. The wall we wanted to bury the pipes into is one of the main exterior walls of the house. Two out of the three fitters we have...

our company had inspection today. gas safe man said having a clamp down in blackpool and preston. also stated that he had seen a forum where local genuine gas fitters had been reporting illegal gas workers in our area. have now searched for this site for an hour. no luck is he pulling my leg or...

Is it me or has gas safe started to increase the fines for illegal works? I could be wrong but i recall not overly long ago that illegal workers were getting fined a few hundred quid for leaving dodgy appliances etc. Glancing through this months gas safe mag and i notice a £7000 fine for gas...

Received a biz card through the letterbox this morning usual rubbish general builder can do all etc ,on the list is also gas safe qualified but no gsr reg number or logo on card .Curiosity got better of me so nosed on gsr website and builder has no mention . Now he may be using a qualified...

a Betacom 30 combi boiler has just been installed in a house we have only just moved into, and i think this may be illegal as it is B rated. What do i do? it was bought in july 2011 by us from a popular plumbing chain and installed in November 2011 by a gas safe registered fitter can i even...

Here is a link to a story on the HSE site re an illegal gas fitter. Its makes a change to see that they are dishing out decent sentences without someone dying in the process. Illegal gas fitter receives two-year prison sentence

Just had a boiler fitted -- asked for and was told it would be a main class A boiler. Plumber still has a couple of small jobs ( move rads etc) to do and I offered him payment but he said he would wait til the whole job was done.Once he left I noticed the boiler he fitted was a main HE30...

Hi guys, i went to a customers house yesterday and would like some clarification please. Basically the customer has bought a shower hose kit and asked if i could tee into the WC cold feed (mains fed) with it and mount next to the toilet. I said that it wasnt possible due to water regs etc...

Does anybody think gassafe do enough to combat illegal gas workers? Everytime i go up B&Q or wickes there seems to be someone buying a fire who is hell bent on fitting it themselves with the 'it cant be that hard to fit this' attitude. Failing that there seems to be builder after builder doing...

Could anyone help, the megaflow system was fitted around 18 months ago, there is an old stuart turner pump ( fittrf around 10 years ago) still operating as a shower booster on the system, is this allowed as the pump is leaking a bit and needs replacing but am a bit confused as ive since been...

So here I am again. Illegal installation of boiler and indirect cylinder. Boiler signed off by Gas Safe mate of illegal installer, and yes the system was fired up prior to the signing off. I've had two engineers look at the system, but both don't agree on their findings. On the cylinder...

Hello gentleman. I've had a new boiler and cylinder installed. I became suspicious after a few things were done wrong - nothing serious, but silly things like wires being attached to hot pipes instead of being properly tied to the wall and also the controller was wired wrong which meant that...

I'm sorry but after reading the below it seems that the fine is clearly not sufficient as its a lot lower than the training and registration costs it is to be Gas Safe I do not beleive in illegal gas fitting in any way shape or form but it has worked out cheaper for this Chappy! Illegal...

Does anybody else feel that having to pay nearly £500 to register for the first time "up front" is basically condoning illegal gas work. For instance i am 21 and have worked for 2 companies over the last 5 years but the last one hit financial difficulties due to non payers etc. and had to reduce...

Hello all You may want to watch BBC1's Watchdog show tonight as there is due to be a big piece on illegal gas workers. I think there are a few surprises in store for them...
