Default HETAS - is it just another certification scam?

What was specified in the contract? I'd be reaching for a lawyer in
your position - and shopping them to building control. And as they've
proposed a fraud - possibly the police.

If they've fitted a single wall liner intended for gas appliances, it
may well fail in a few years time - there's damn good reasons for most
of the building regs requirements.


Actually, points 1 and 3 aren't legal requirements. The installed flue
is a cast in situ refractory concrete liner, the diameter being 7".

They not only proposed a fraud, but I have the fraudulent certificate,
and the fraudulent safety information notice.
