Lost boiler building regulations compliance certificate....Help please!

danyorks

Hi all,

Just selling my house and we cant find the Building Regulation Compliance Certificate for our boiler.

I have spoken to the guy that installed it who is corgi registered and he assures me that the boiler commissioning was registered online and we should have our certificate.

Anyway, long story short we cant find it.

What do we do now? Is there a way to speak to GASSAFE/CORGI and get the certificate re-sent again?

It was installed and commissioning in 2006 and wonder if it is too long ago to do anything about it.

Any other options?

Cheers in advance

Good evening: if the installation has been notified then your Local Authority Building Control should have a record. This was the case when we had a HIP done for our previous home. Conversely contact Gas Safe Register for advice. Your RGI should also have a record of compliance certificate number. You should have received the certificate via post from CORGI as you have stated that the installation took place in 2006, pre-GSR.

On the other side.

If the plumber is telling porkies and they have never registered the installation (they did complete the benchmark commissioning as I have that) is there a way the boiler can be commissioned so late or can a 're-commission' take place so we can get our hands on the certificate?

Thanks for your help

You can regularise it under the Building Regs if the plumber wasn't CORGI/GASSAFE registered, alternatively try speaking to CORGI or Building Control first as one of those should have a record of it. I'd contact them first as regularising will cost you! I think on the CORGI/GASSAFE website you can type in to see if a person is registered, you could the last time I looked anyway.

The plumber is definitely corgi registered, it's just a matter of whether they registered the boiler.

I just want a conclusion to the matter so it doesn't slow the house purchase down any more than is needed to.

Thanks for your help

Hi,

I'm in the exact same situation as you. Did you get it resolved in the end, and if so what did you do? Thanks.

Just get your GSR engineer to re-register it on Gas Safe. Costs £2+vat (I think). Give him a bit extra for the hassle. Job done.

Contact corgi. They may be able to re-issue the certificate, but at a price!

GSR won't be able to help as it was before they took over.

As of September 2011, £35 (inc VAT, I think), and they say they send it off next day.

More than the £2 charged by Gas Safe, but not much in the general scheme of house buying things.

Probably cheaper than indemnity insurance, too.

Hi,
I had a boiler and central heating system fitted 2 years ago.
The boiler was commissioned by a gas safe engineer.
I was never issued with any sort of building regulations certificate, but at the time i was not aware i would (should) of been.
I am currently selling my flat and the solicitor is asking for this certificate, but i was never issued with one.
Ive spoken to the engineer that commissioned the boiler, but he said its something that was up to me, which i found strange?
He obviously didnt register the boiler...
How do i go about getting a sufficient certificate to satisfy the solicitors??

Thanks alot

I will bump this up because I recently had a boiler installed and I don't remember getting any paperwork through the post regarding the boiler installation. Should I have got something else? Is this something I need to chase up?
