Bumping up old threads isn't always so bad. I want all the gas moved in my place and was going to just call in a corgi and ask him what labour he needs doing so it's just a case for him to take a few things down and that, I want the boiler disconnected for a while and then reconnected so now I'm thinking it's starting to get expensive.
What exact qualifications do you need to work on gas? I've not done huge amount of plumbing but seem to be reasonably good at it, the standard of my work on water pipes was as good as the guy who fitted the gas pipes to our boiler.
I don't understand a lot of things about the way this house has been put together
A friend of mine came round and looked at it and just like me he says "why did he put that gas pipe there he could have put it there instead" which is exactly what I thought.
Is there some sort of alternative in that you get a training to a level to make you safe, then get an inspection from a fully qualified pro to check you did it right?
Probably still end up going down the just doing the labour root since this looks like it's expensive to pick up, but it's good to be able to do things for yourself. I've had lots of bad experiences with the poor quality work other people have done (and a few with poor quality work I have done!) but if it's myself who did the work and I don't think it's good enough I can do it again, if I hired in a pro then he would be losing money and probably not want to make it to the high standard I demand, decisions, decisions...
