Building regs and a new boiler
 

Hi

I have recently personally installed a replacement central heating oil
boiler. I have discovered that I now need to get a certificate from the
building control dept of the local authority. Apparently I will have to
demonstrate that the installation and function of the new boiler
conforms to statutory requirements. My question is will the building
control carry out performance checks on the boiler or will I have to get
a heating engineer to attend and carry out the checks for them or will
they just take my word for it that it's OK?

Regards Jerry

This came up in the last two weeks, I believe. It is a new rule, since
April,
and I believe the upshot was that usually the local authority will take the
word of a decent heating engineer, rather than insist on looking for
themselves.
I believe I may have posted the query myself on 06/09/05, so look back
through the group or search via Google Groups on the internet.
