    The must be different in your "area" then as they don't here.

    It is different north and south of the border. In the south, a HETAS installer can self certify the work or anybody can do it and get the council to sign it off. There is no need to do both.

    As I understand it, North of the border, HETAS can't self certify and householders have to apply to the council for a building warrant. The same as they would if they did the work themselves.

    A friend of mine has installed his own multifuel stove and has a building warrant for the work. He is most definitely not HETAS registered.
  • like said at the beginning when I first mentioned HETAS the rules are changing and it's becoming a requirement, just like Gas Safe etc.
