Only used suitable qualified engineers
The reason you should only use suitable qualified engineers is so that when you go into the loft and see their plumbing, you can see every bend and every joint.
If you were to use some dodgy DIY'er you would not be able to see every bend and every joint because they would have insulated the pipes Not one pipe in the loft of my daughters house is insulated. ye gods and little fishes I hope you have noted the post is sarcasm macafee2 |

Can't say I noticed. Hope they forgot to insulate the loft too, so the heat from the house can get up there to stop the pipes from freezing.

My friend had a wood stove installed by a fully qualified person, recommended by a heating retailing outlet. About a year later she had a serious fire from her chimney that left a little longer would have taken the house out. I’ve installed three with correctly fitted double skinned chimney liners, which continue to work without an issue.

Years ago we lived in a house with a gas fire in the lounge. My mother was getting crippling migraines and generally feeling unwell. Discovered it was mild carbon monoxide poisoning, the flue at the rear of the gas fire wasn't connected, there was a section missing, about a 12" gap. Didn't affect my father and me as we were out of the house most of the time, him working, me being at school etc.

Was the fire the installers fault ??--If it was an old house the chimney should have been cleaned. If not, then the new fire, after a years use could have been the cause of the fire.--- |

The "professional" that serviced my last boiler put the retaining clips to the insulator blocks in the wrong way round. The insulator fell onto the burner, diverted the flame up the front of the unit and distorted the baffles in the process. The boiler was scrap so had to be replaced. I refused to pay and I suggested that I should contact the gas safety council. My boiler was replaced free of charge by the company!!!
