Options
Hi all,


I just got my central heating installed by some private company guy, after install, I have been told that it will take 4-6 week to get the certificate. I gave them call last week(4th week)they say it will take about 2 month. Just want to know is true that certificate take that long to come?

And I Must admit that I don't even know what certificate i going to receive?

Thanks u for reading

    Assuming you used a Gas Safe- registered installer then:

    'When works have been completed the installer should then produce for you a commissioning certificate such as a Benchmark certificate and notify the local authority building control department either directly, or, if a member of a Competent Person Scheme, via the scheme operator. In due course the local authority should supply you with a Building Regulations Completion Certificate that indicates compliance.'

    Two months does seem a long time!

    I had a new boiler fitted recently, and he dropped my certificate off the day after he finished the work. Two months does seem rather excessive...
