So, this has been going on for a month, & your getting nowhere.

Have you contacted the original builder/developer?
Have you contacted your local councillor?

It won't make any difference if he does.
The developer will simply point him to the warranty.
The council can't do anything about no BR sign-off, although it almost certainly was signed off as a whole, else the developer wouldn't have been able to register it for the warranty.

He has a choice.
1. Pay to fix his boiler and flue.
2. Continue to chase the warranty to pay to fix his boiler and flue.

And hope that the warranty company don't wriggle out by saying that no BC sign off voids it as the policy was fraudulant

I would be putting a complaint against whoever issued the gas safety certificate. They couldn’t have inspected the flue.

I have already raised a Gas Safe Register complaint against the plumber who issued the Landlord Gas Safety Report (issued in Nov 2017). A GSR inspection of my boiler/flue is schedule for after the lockdown is lifted. Once the inspection is complete, I intend to raise a complaint against the original installer.

I am quite possibly wrong, but I believe the regulations changed about that time regarding inspection of concealed flues? Especially in a ceiling? 

Before that the engineer used judgement, after that it was a fail if unable to examine.

Do you have the name of the original installer? Perhaps go through the builder, there must be plans for new development?

Regulations change very regularly, what was perhaps ok then is a safety issue now.

Hope you get all settled.
