I know I know ! Christ - got a bodged uvc , entire house to sort , liquid roof to sort , oh yeah build a house and tons of other life stuff . And all you f’ers want is a photo of a metal ball to pick apart ! ?

That’s about the top of the tank . The top of the cupboard had the base ripped out just so the expansion tank would fit - photos to follow !

Installer I guess I just pay the builder he sorts / employs everyone else .

Not too hand . I know there is one though ? Photo to follow ; what are you looking for ? I.e what could possibly be wrong ? ?

Met builder on site without cylinder installer ( probably best for his benefit) Going to run 22mm from the tundish from UVC - straight out through wall and down rear of house ; therefore no need to tee into boiler PRV ( this will be put back as was ) . Then going to commission it .... so I will get required paperwork. Therefore I am covered in the sense I believe it to be safe and it’s installed by someone who is supposedly qualified. Then it will be lodged with building control ( I presume that’s effectively self cert ) . They then check his gas , electric etc. Credentials are suitable ; so BC told me .

Unfortunately you are almost definitely correct. But it gives me some leverage if I chase his 'boss'

Not yet.

Because I can get affiliated body to check the work . Perhaps I’ll take legal action . Need to know his official status

Agree So how do I find who he’s affiliated with ? Spoke to building control today and they said once I have that info I can get them to inspect his work . So it’s gets fixed ( correctly or not ) either way it gets checked by his governing body . i couldn’t see that info on gas safe . It’s fairly obvious he’s not certified. Told me he notified building control months ago ; he hasn’t .

Right ! Builder wants to get his mate ( the installer ) back to fix this . I said yes in the proviso I put photos up here and if it’s still wrong he gets him back again . I’ve explained what I think should be done . 2 tundish . Uvc closed , boiler one open . All pipe work after tundish min 22mm . Why I have to tell them is worrying - but they don’t know . Though apparently “ it’s obvious now the 15mm is wrong “ - he didn’t mention a second tundish .... Photo soon ; especially for Nick , as he’s a big boy !!!

Actually @PeterW I’m confused by this . Surely the PRV from boiler or UVC would potentially both scalding ; so why not both tundish covered ? . I’m probably missing something obvious....

This should be good ! Sending me his certificates to prove he can install and commission UVC . Stay tuned......

Yeah ! Coming to look tomorrow with a contractor ! There is a god ! . Ok , there isn’t but it’s like there is . Kind of like Brexit ; some people thought it was a good idea . Now everyone thinks it’s a bad idea but do it anyway . Ah , rambling ...

I reckon @Nickfromwales favourite word is PENIS !

While were at it; anyone want to buy any walk on glass?

Apparently he has notified building control. But I'm guessing that doesn't mean it's been commissioned!. As no paperwork - then not commissioned because he can't! Turned into a shite mess as expected. Builder says he's been using him for years. Well, his luck has run out now.

So make this easy for me. He can install a UVC but needs it certified by someone else, yes?

Apparently the installer said building control have been notified.

Right!. I've just spoke to Gas safe and as usual I'm given the run around. G3 doesn't exist he said ? But you can have a certificate to say you are qualified to install UVC but not be G3 EH?!!!!; - EHHH!!!

Sorry @PeterW you are going to have to explain that in precise detail. But first is he G3 or not???? ( I'm guessing not compared to the other random search )

I can taste blood now!

Randomly choosing someone else I get ......

Hmmmmmm, should it actually say G3????

Ohhhhhh, sent me his license number !!! Place your bets G3 or not? I bet he is!

Installer has replied saying it doesn’t need to be registered as it electrically powered not gas . Asked him 3 times for his license number ...... All getting messy now - like it always does
