New Gas Safety Certificate needed?

I am having a new gas boiler fitted tomorrow in a rented property. Will I need a new gas safety certificate?

The present gas safety certificate runs out in March 2016.

The only other gas appliance in the house is the gas hob.

Would a new certificate cost extra on top of the cost of installing the new boiler?

    No, you need only get a Building Regs Compliance Certifcate, which your GSR RGI will supply to confirm he has registered the install. That is included in the install cost you were quoted.
    If this coincides with a new tenant, you must supply a copy of the existing GSC before they occupy the property: the GSC remains valid until 3/16.
