I recently returned a 're-plastering favour' (by a Kentish friend) by installing his new Worcester-Bosch C/H condensing-boiler....being a competent plumber and sparky; but having no 'legal' certification: I contacted a local (Herne, Kent) 'Gas Registration Scheme' chap and outlined what I intended to do (RE: flues, wiring, water and gas piping sizes/route etc.) and he happily agreed to come `cap the gas supply before I removed the old boiler and then came back to make the final gas connection, commission and certify the boiler.....all for a reasonable £90. fee.

Common sense prevailed; the Gas/Building regs and manufacture`s warranty stipulations were adhered-to the letter and I was praised for a 'quaility' installation (

".....and it`s nice to see someone whom can really use a pipe-bender"

)......a result! Wink

My thoughts...
London hard water: heat exchanger choked or flow sensor/diaphragm is sticky or faulty. Wink

Spot on Debs, you clever girl! I'm a retired gas service engineer and those are the two most likely culprits Thumbs Up!

Thanks girls and guys! Wink

I guess that's an engineer job, then. Sad

Especially as I've heard it's illegal to fiddle with them if you're not Corgi registered.

As long as you are not breaking any gas lines,you dont need to be gas safe. Thumbs Up!
