It won't be much of a challenge Ian. The guy has the intellect and coherent thought capacity of a hamster.

Hey, that's not being fair to hamsters.
Even dead ones?

It's only this particular sub-forum 'plumbing and central heating' which is like this folks, don't be put off.
To the OP - unfortunately, unless it's against regulations (which the experts on this site are incapable of answering), you have no legal comeback. You might be able to to say 'its not best practice' and you could give examples of opinions from this thread (although opinion here is split). You might be able to come to some arrangement if they are decent enough. Another idea would be to reinforce from below, e.g put some noggins between the joist members under the tank. This does involve removing part of the ceiling though.

Yeah but:
Plumber looking at other plumber's work 'shocking'
Plumber looking at same work done by them or their company - it's fine.
Plumbers on a free forum... are just the same as everyone else here... we are not financially contracted to put up with any kind of bullschit! Which is one of the reasons we are here

Ok, well I gave advice:
1. find out if what was done was against regs - if it was then that's a no-brainer - go back to the fitter and say 'this is wrong'
2. try to come to some arrangement even if it isn't
3. Work around, e.g. reinforce from below. Cost effective solution.
What is the problem?

Plus you think copper pipes will support a socking great steel tank of hot water.
