For this one, the nanny state would like to make sure that you are using a cylinder of suitable type to meet energy saving requirements. You can either do the work yourself and issue a building notice at your local authority or use a professional member of an approved trade association who will self certify. In addition, if the cylinder is pressurised, they would like an approved professional to install it. However, that has been the case for a while. Paul I know it's a very late reply but I'm just catching up after a few months off. While you've been away, they've regulated sex as well, so forget about that until you have a permit from the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister. Of course, if you are a member of a trade association, you can "self certify". That particular organisation, according to their web site, seems to be very keen on "self certrification". ..andy To email, substitute .nospam with .gl |

For this one, the nanny state would like to make sure that you are using a cylinder of suitable type to meet energy saving requirements. Well Screwfix said it was... You can either do the work yourself and issue a building notice at your local authority or use a professional member of an approved trade association who will self certify. Oh FFS. They'll be telling me I can't replace my windows next. ;- In addition, if the cylinder is pressurised, they would like an approved professional to install it. However, that has been the case for a while. Oh no, standard vented semi pumped system. Expect lots of tedious boiler rplacement questions real soon now. I know it's a very late reply but I'm just catching up after a few months off. While you've been away, they've regulated sex as well, so forget about that until you have a permit from the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister. Of course, if you are a member of a trade association, you can "self certify". That particular organisation, according to their web site, seems to be very keen on "self certrification". Ahh, I'm in a long term relationship and have a young child; "self certification" is about as good as it gets these days. cheers Paul |

I think John Prescott might be more interested in "self gratification". Leastways, he comes across as being a big of a willy wonker. PoP |

Bloody Hell. shuffles feet, look innocent What does that cover then? I mean as far as regs. Surely there are limited things that can be screwed up replacing a cylinder? BG do not replace HW cylinder to the regs, and claim that they are exempt Go figure!" |

Oh FFS.
They'll be telling me I can't replace my windows next. ;- I must admit I did perform quite a double take in the local trade place when the lad behind the desk said I'd be breaking the law if I installed anything less than 25mm double glazing. Ross |

Let's all bookmark this thread and come back in 10 years time to see what other dumb**** legislation, that would seem unthinkable today, has been introduced.
