Needless to say, I wont touch gas

Which, somewhat perversly, you still can without telling anyone, unless
it's for hire or reward, then you need to be CORGI registered...

But you still need to tell your BCO so it's really the same as Part P only
BCOs seem qualified to check gas whereas they seem to want to hire in people
for electricity.

Really? I hadn't come across that, then I haven't tried installing gas,
though when my Dad did so, he ran the pipe, tested it and asked the Gas
Board ('twas a long time ago) to come and connect to the meter. They
tested it again and did so. Do you know which section that comes under?


See the FAQ.

However do note that installing a boiler comes under the building regs
Part J IIRC as part of heating regs.

CORGI members may self certify compliance on the commissioning log book.
The only impact of not having this paperwork would be a zealous solicitor
and.or a wriggling boiler manufacturer who want to disown a warranty claim.
