      Yup and they always seem to back up their crap by saying they have 20+ years in the trade! They usually never want to learn anything new either or can't face that they can actually learn from a younger engineer

    I'm not clued up enough on the UK regs to know whether you can use a flexible connection to a fixed appliance from a NG supply but where I am (France) it is possible using an approved stainless reinforced flexible which is not susceptible to kink or ignore bend radiuses (or radii for all you intelligent latin speaking engineers)! They are expensive though.

    I'm at 3.25 in the video, after hearing you say you took a good few hours to hang 2 rads, I'm glad to hear that. Sometimes i can get a rad marked up and on the wall in no time, other times I've really struggled to do a few rads in a day, absolutely busting my balls. From my point of view, doing full hits, combi's, heat pumps, changeovers and whatnot, i find rads to be probably the hardest, most fiddley of all

    No such thing as an easy job, so true! In the 90's we moved to a tumble down 30's house. On removing old kitchen cabinets I found copper pipe to gas boiler had been threaded in any awkward way and it needed changing to fit new units. Even then no one was available to do the job. So I decided to do it. I cut the old out fitted the new run and fired up a blowlamp, when my wife arrived and said 'I can smell gas'! It was quite strong, putting seeds of doubt in my mind. What to do? Might roof end up in next town?! I fired up the vacuum cleaner, sucked both ends of gas pipe, then soldered the joints. Checked for leaks, job done! Much later I realised how stupid it was to use vacuum cleaner on the gas pipe, it concentrated the gas in the cleaner that has a sparkly commutator motor, why didn't it explode?! Not played with gas since! Thanks for the great content.

    Kitchen fitters are amongst the worst offenders of illegal gas work. In situations like stubborn, stiff connections. I will purge the gas line and apply heat to the fitting. This will soften up the jointing compound. That bayonet would have unscrewed with little effort.

      I wonder if he was the same one that fitted the original kitchen in a friends house? When we stripped it out for a refit there was a 6mm hole in the wall behind a cupboard in line for a rawl plug. No plug, but there were black scorch marks around the hole and best of all a pencilled note on the bare plaster saying "live"!!! It still was and had left one side of the ring open where he'd drilled through it and cut a live wire, strange it had never been picked up on an electrical test.

Your skin has to become like crocodile skin so this kind of thing should not affect you don’t worry about the noise you’re talking about
    however I would like to ask you something. What kind of relay the electrician has recommended you to turn 230 V to the low-voltage and did you use it? Or how did you do it? Could you say the name of the relay, please thank you.

    You can fit any hob unless MI state otherwise with a gas hose. I rang gas safe up to confirm this as I had a customer call me out for this issue(tiler of all people said they couldn't have a hose connected to their hob so they got me out). GS basically said it doesn't matter if there's a draw below or a oven etc which I found strange at the time but it's what they told me.
    Also you don't need to explain the methods of the kitchen fitter not working on gas appliances as it's illegal for anybody to work on any gas installation unless you hold the relevant qualification. I can't work on oil boilers or LPG because I don't have them it would be illegal for me to do so even though I'm gas safe.
