Hi,
We had a combi boiler installed about 2 or 3 years ago but due to our naivety we didn't realise that we should have been issued with an installation certificate. Unfortunately we don't have the contact details of the fitter who installed it so we can't get in touch with him. We do have a landlord's gas safety certificate issued by British Gas so we're confident that it's safe but we now want to sell the house and we've just found out that we should've been issued with a certificate when it was installed.
Can anyone tell me what we need to do please? Can we get a certificate after the event or will we need to have a new boiler fitted to get a certificate? Obviously we'd rather not have to go to the expense of having a new boiler fitted if possible. We realise it's our fault and we should've found out what was required at the time but that's the benefit of hindsight as they say!
If anyone can give us some guidance it would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.
