    Come fanno le persone con una caldaia posizionata in questo modo a mantenerla?


    Ho comprato questo appartamento qualche anno fa e ho assunto un’impresa di manutenzione che viene una volta all’anno per la sua manutenzione. Sono venuti una volta ed è andato tutto bene. Quest’anno arriva la manutenzione e il ragazzo che è venuto ha detto che non può farne manutenzione perché ho bisogno di una sorta di base su cui possa stare in sicurezza (non può essere una scala, ha detto). Non sa cosa abbia fatto il precedente dipendente della sua azienda, ma probabilmente non ha fatto quello che avrebbe dovuto fare. Ora mi hanno chiesto di trovare una soluzione da solo oppure mi rimborseranno i soldi pagati finora, cosa che non mi interessa, voglio che effettuino la manutenzione. Qualcuno ha una caldaia messa così? Come lo risolveresti? Non riesco a pensare a nulla che possa portare loro a una base stabile su cui poggiare.

      our house dating from the ’70 had this. the previous owner had built a detachable platform that could be placed in the stairwell to access it.

      The houses I’ve seen with this construction had a large wooden plate they could lay over the opening of the stairs.

      Put the ladder with two legs on the stairs and you hold the other two while he performs the maintenance would be the solution if you would do this with a buddy. But yeah, that is not worker safety so you have to come up with something else.

      Edit i have done this with a guy to hang a lamp and it worked surprisingly well because you can balance a lot of load onto the stairs.

      Offtopic: but none of the pipes (water, heating, gas, sewer) is being held up by anything. No brackets whatsoever. Especially for the sewer line, that whole contraption is hanging on that 90 degree piece going in the wall.

      Please add some brackets (as is also mandatory). Look for a company with gastec cert so they know what they do

      Trap steiger is het korte antwoord. Eventueel voor een dag te huren bij verschillende bouwmarkten.

      You tell the company in advance so they can bring their own stuff to work safely.

      (1) Safety regulations that concern working on heights become stricter with the passing of time, so you can be sure this will become more and more important in the future.

      (2) Boiler maintenance can **only** be performed by a certified technician (you commit a crime if the technician is not certified and will also end up in legal trouble if someone in your house dies from or is hospitalized for carbon monoxide poisoning) and the branche is all about safety, so you can be fairly sure many more technicians will start pointing to this issue in the future

      (3) Be very careful with supplying your own solution for the technician to stand on, as it likely means you are liable for damages if the construction you provide breaks down with the technician on it.

      Bottom line: this is a very poor choice of location for the boiler. I have no idea what the previous technicians did, but they might have used a temporary scaffold or some other construction. If no company wants to perform maintenance until a solution is created (I’m surprised previous technicians did perform maintenance), you are probably best off contacting a proper contractor that can drill bolds in the wall for holders and a large wooden board to stand on or something safe the contractor comes up with. It will cost you money, but leaving it like this will also be an issue if you want to sell the house in the future.

      Did you real estate agent not bring this up when you purchased the house?
