combi not CORGI Registered

malmac_3

Require urgent advice.... currently in the middle of part ex with persimmon homes and they require a CORGI compliance certificate issued for the boiler which i do not have nor do i have the name of the company who fitted it as the man was self emloyed and no longer in the trade so does anyone know how i can register the boiler to enable the sale of my house to proceed and what the approx cost would be..

many thanks

If you got a service by a Corgi registered engineer would it be ok?
British Gas are doing them for £49 at the moment. It might be worth asking if they'd accept a cert from BG?

Cheers.. but had it serviced 3 weeks ago by a corgi reg engineer and they are still not happy ....

Could you reasonably argue it was installed before 1st April 2005?

Else you might need building regs approval costing £300

Not much help but this CORGI registration requirement for appliance installations is scandalous. CORGI are just a money making bunch of scammers.

Why was a cert. not issued at the time of installation? Why do you not have the name of the person/company who installed the boiler? The person who installed it can get CORGI to issue a backdated certificate up to a certain amount of time and it only costs £2.50 to notify online.
Failing that, as the previous poster said, you would have to get in touch with Building Control at your local council and get them to arrange a certificate which could prove costly.
