Wondered if anyone cal shed some light.
so I've been assigned a new internal assessor for my nvq portfolio work. He looked over my original hot water and cold water submissions he wasn’t happy ( he’s very old school) so I re did another bathroom suit demonstrating hot and cold water cutting back some pipe work fitting the appliances and isolation valves ect. The house I was working in was an American style built house so all the plumbing pipe work is in the wall cavities there was a section of pipe work under the bath I could access by cutting away some plasterboard I cut back what I could and re piped but I work for a housing association and can’t just rip peoples walls down. I’ve spent hours adding photos and writing a very detailed account and guess what he still isn’t happy. I’ve spoken to my old assessor about it and he agrees with me and is on my side. The currant assessor has said there’s not enough pipe work especially first fix ( which isn’t always possible to access) I’ve done as much as I physically can on each appliance. Where do I stand can I appeal ect. Working for the company I do means unfortunately we are on a budget per bathroom. I did demonstrate running some pipe work. I just feel what he wants me to do in his eyes is kind of impossible. Any suggestions welcome
 
If the Awarding Body is C & G. Then they state that ideally, there should be just Hot & Cold tails entering the room. Pipework then run to Bath or Shower, WHB & WC (at least 3 appliances).
You have to complete TWO separate install of each of your chosen system types. So is this post referring to your first install? If not what did the first install comprise of?
Of course you have a right of appeal.

I was stupid enough not to check the position of the pipes under the tiles when installing a toilet and drilled right through the center of a 16 mm copper water pipe. I exposed the pipe by removing a ~30cm section of the plastic sleeve and a ~10 cm section of the pipe around the hole. Several...

Hello, I am seeking some advice, I have a POTTERTON PROMAX 28 COMBI Boiler and I noticed yesterday that the water around the house is no longer warming up. The heat exchanger has been changed 6 months ago, so I do not believe it is that. Does anyone have any ideas on what it could be? Thanks
