I had a couple of jobs needed finishing after fitting my bathroom and en-suite, so got the local magazine loads of plumbers adverts, started ringing round for quotes fitting salamander pump s-flange,and 1 towel rail, anyway first guy calls looks at the flange and tank,"sorry cant do that lets see towel rail" showed him the towel rail said i need it soldering in the wall so the pipes dont show "cant do that" he says,so what where you thinking of doing i say "compresion" "WHAT" i say i fitted the whole bathroom all the plumbing speed fit and compresion called a expert to do the bits i am not sure of. Anyway sees him out then he confides he done a DIY plumbing course then set up as a plumber and was only realy looking to fix leakes "people pay when there is an emergancy":yikes: bye bye. Next guy is handy sammy no job too big or small he came looked at the pump says part-p "i dont think so mate its got a plug on" oh ok do the pump and towel rail £80 :yikes: next tuesday.I am now thinking wow he is cheap next tuesday never came :mad2: eventualy I rang a old mate who is a heating engineer thinking i was wasting his time with small jobs he came round and says at the moment things are quiet he welcomes the bread and butter jobs nice one he charged me £120 mates rates and the job was a good'n.

If the pump is in the bathroom area it should be protected by a 30MA RCD to meet 17th edition

Did you recieve a minor works certifcate for the pump?

In plumbing there are too many chancers or quick trained 6129s, Give them anything that isnt compression or pushfit and there snookered

No the pumps in the airing cupboard with a fitted molded plug pluged into a socket the friend of mine graham signed the job off for the plumbing side.I bought the pump from a reputable supplier.As you say too many chancers i can do compresion or speedfit plumbing but i wouldnt do it for a job as i am not qualified.
