MikeJP Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 The house I used to live in, Still on the market I had a gas hrt in the living room. I was replacing the pipe work. Some of the existing pipe work, under the flooring, was to be removed, ease of access. I took hold of the pipe. At the join, IT came apart in my hand, as soon as I touched it. THAT work was done be a CORGI reg person. Supposed to be safe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have found the same SUB STANDARD work. across all. I Do the work Myself, THEN get it certified. I KNOW I have done the work correctly. I do not trust contractors to do the work safely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melboy Posted April 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 If that was the case then you should have reported the person who installed your pipework to CORGI who would have carried out an on site survey and then the person concerned would have been checked out by a CORGI Inspector for his last 3 jobs and if found to be dangerous his gas licence would have been revoked and he would have been struck off the CORGI register. Having been in the business for 35 years it is rare to find bad workmanship from qualified and registered gas installers however I have seen more Cowboy workmanship than I care to recall but I have to say in every case it has been from unqualified persons doing the installations or semi skilled plumbers masquarading as CORGI registered installers, plenty of those still going around ready to rip off customers. The Gas Laws for registered installers are comprehensive and regular checks on their work are carried out to ensure conformity. Mel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
