If you have a fire, the insurance company can use the lack of
appropriate certification from either HETAS or building control approval
to refuse your claim.

how would they know to ask for certs?

Because they aren't ****ing stupid. If someone makes a large claim, it's
cost-effective to pay a "loss adjuster" to crawl out from under his rock
and check that it's pukka.


We have an open fire in one room and a wood burner in another and have no
certificates other than those from the chimney sweep saying both have been
swept.
