I've got a story to tell you about warmer heatings parent co firm,and its

And here it is

We went around lifting floorboards where the CH piping was laid and found
to our amazement...

5 Floorboards been cut short instead of taking up the whole of the
floorboard in one piece,these revealed...no support onto the joist as they
were cut an inch or so from the joist...also several badly soldered
joints,so bad I reckon he's due for a leak or two in the winter.
The conduit running down the wall is just pinned with flathead nails...they
have run a length of this conduit and piping down a wall in the kitchen
whereby its affixed to a false panel,behind this panel is existing pipework
ie the main water pipe and 2 other pipes leading off to the sink(duh! hows
the plumber going to fix a leak if one should occur)?

Pipework is running along on top of skirting board to the rads, when
there's floorboards that can be lifted and piping run under and then come
up to the ends of the rads.

I believe they know how to screw nails in...with an hammer.

Couple of cracks in his kitchen ceiling,this was due to them cutting slots
in the joist and wacking the blocks out also with an hammer instead of
using a chisle to get a nice clean channel for the pipework.

Some pics here...most are in portrait mode. Sorry for all links.

When you find the name just put... central heating after it into google and
go to their site,what a load of codswallop.

That tommy bloke is spouting this "the feeling that you are being treated
with respect".

There is no law against telling the truth, particularly if you have good
photographic evidence.

They can only complain mildly that you did not give them a chance to put
things right.

It's covered in dings and wobbles, by the look, and it goes
right onto the floor! Are you going to post links to pictures
of good areas of plastering?

Unfortunately I can't guess the name of the firm. Is
it Lizard? Chameleon? Snake? Common green iguana?

It's far, far more on-topic than some.

Apparently the area manager has put this down to an apprentice being on the
job?

He offered 20GBP compo for new tiles. pmsl

Where was the client while all this was happening ?
Surely, not being on site while having central heating installed is a
bit negligent.
As is signing it off without checking it *completely*.
