DanGersFord Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I'm not that flush. ;) One of my brothers in law is a gas safe registered heating engineer and plumber so he's doing trade price but it still isn't a cheap job, glad I'm not paying full whack. Ive never met a policeman whos short of a bob or two ;) lol I remember I was working in a cheif inspectors house when I was an apprentice and the place was like a flippin mansion!

DanGersFord Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 And stoney, get the to insulate your radiator/water pipes underneath the floor because if they dont and you get a burst pipe for example and your ceiling caves in, your home insurance wont pay out. Plus it all increases the effiency even if only a little bit but every little helps with the price of gas these days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 An Inspector earns about twice what i do, I'm just a lowly PC. The job will be done properly, my missus has nominated herself as project manager and won't stand for a half job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanGersFord Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I was only saying because alot of installers dont fit the insulation amd a lot of people dont realise that their insurance wouldnt pay out foe that kind of situation until its too late :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanGersFord Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 To conform with the regs, any pipe work outside the heated area must be insulated anyway Not alot of installers bother too much with Part L regs except for fitting TRVs/ A rated boiler. And ive only came across a few who insulate pipes under the floor. Your best bet is to use pipes that are already insulated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can pull out any piece of documentation I fill out and go and inspect the job to make sure everything is 100% right etc. Keeps you on your toes lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
