Just because it doesn't leak doesn't mean there's nothing wrong with it. So as I said, it was adequate. Your reasoning is unsound, have you been drinking?

Post a link to the story then...

Read the topic - it's all there.

I don't believe a word of it.

Er, strike that last suggestion - there's no point in you reading it.

joe

funny that. most people on here dont believe a word you write anyway either.

I have a sudden and profound respect for you dabaldie

 

[Softus]

I haven't but I've been on-line for 8 years and know how forums work. You'll get the hang of it after a while.

How does that work? You claim to have been an adult for even longer, but you haven't got the hang of that yet.

Gas is only dangerous if it is leaking.

This is not true - combustion products are dangerous if they are inhaled, especially if the combustion process does not proceed as intended by the boiler designer. It is the duty of the gas engineer to mitigate the risk of both such eventualities, which you would know if you were competent.

That's a horrifying thought - joe-90 drunk! What on earth would that be like

 

[confidentincompetent]

Ok! so diy are free to do gas work in their own household.

Yes.

But then building control will need a certificate that it has been done competently??

No.

My humble understanding of building control is that the control concerns the premises and a certificate is like an M O T for a car, no M O T and insurance could be negated.

Your understanding is wrong. It's persistently amazing that you decline to read the regulations and instead post garbage on this topic that might mislead other readers.

Oh go on then, tell me where my understandings wrong.
Lets get to page 20

Oh go on then, tell me where my understandings wrong.

You have been advised to look at the parts of the topic that quote from, or refer to, or include a hyperlink to, the Building Regulations, the Building Act, and the Gas Regulations, and further to read the legislation with your eyes, and think about them with your brain.

You could not have done this, or you would not be persisting with incorrect and opinionated statements about what is and what isn't legal.

Since you believe that it's ok to carry on like this, your understanding (of how to cooperate on this forum) is wrong.

Well thats your interpretation. But still no answer to my question.

You seem to have a problem understanding things. YOU CAN ONLY DO WORK ON A GAS APPLIANCE IN THE COURSE OF A BUSINESS IF BOTH YOU AND THE BUSINESS IS REGISTERED UNDER A GOVERNMENT APPROVED SCHEME.

I aint gonna bother to read all these pages

Been away for 4 hours and joe-90 still hasn't answered my question. Looks like my assumption was correct.

joe-90 - your local education authority almost certainly do adult literacy courses which may help your problem to some extent, but I don't think they teach comprehension, just literacy.

Just because it doesn't leak doesn't mean there's nothing wrong with it. So as I said, it was adequate. Your reasoning is unsound, have you been drinking?

What I was saying previously, was that "adequate" is not competent.

You'll have to go back and look. By inference, in some circumstances a DIYer could do work in his own home but would need BR approval. This may now be superceded depending on someone finding some laws which allegedly changed recently. It also begs the question whether BC would ever sign off a DIYers gas work.
(There are a lot of "if"s in that previous paragraph )

Hi Softus

Search.....eyes.....brain.... etc.

Yo! BobProperty! Yay! oilman!

This was a reply to algoom's post.

Freddie, you probably are competent, but a Competent Person is Prescot approved.

 

[ban-all-sheds]

Ban-All-Sheds - are you still around/awake? How many more posts before we beat the Screwfix "DIY Gas disasters" thread?

Sorry Bob - contrary to what some people claim, I do have a life and other interests, some of which I get paid for, and these took me away yesterday afternoon & evening..

Sorry about posting the Screwfix link again - must have forgotten you'd done it. The progress of this thread reminds me very much of how ants carry a twig...

Can't remember what the Screwfix one got up to, but it was well over 700, so at this time we have over 500 to go. I hope we don't make it...

Hi Softus

What question was that?
