No 'building regs certificate' for boiler install?

[fatfunkymonkey]

I've just fished out the certificate and you're right, it's says they have notified the local building control

This certification thing is getting out of hand.
As long as an appliance has been fitted by an appropriately qualified and competent person the what does it matter.
There are too many of these Mickey Mouse courses.

As long as it's been recently serviced by a professional then surely that should suffice?!

I've just had a new boiler installed, at no time has the council been mentioned. All that had been provided is a GasSafe certificate so I assume this is all that is needed.

I'm having a new one installed at the end of the month. First I've heard of it too and I've no intention of involving them.

Legally notification is required:

However as you can see from he above Gas Safe do this on behalf of the engineer so as long as you have a valid gas safe certificate everything is ok

..... or if you don't know who installed it, get some other heating engineer/plumber to do it

No chance!

Why not? I fitted the boiler and new heating system in my first house then had a Corgi guy couple up the gas line and commision the boiler. If I were buying a house with missing documentation the plumber/gas safe engineer I normally use would check it for me with no problem at all.

Checking is fine, issuing a safety check cert is fine, but signing off some randomers work as your own new boiler install is risky to say the least.
