Do I need a certificate for Full Central Heating/ Boiler Install?

[Mr Sparkle]

My property has just had a fresh install of the following

- Central heating
- System boiler
- Unvented cylinder

Previously the property only had electric heaters

What I want to know is whether I need to obtain any certificates for this like a gas safety certificate?

I do not want to sell the house down the line then come to find out I should have obtained XYZ at the time of install.

1. Both the installation of a boiler (assuming gas for your reference to gas safety certificate) and the installation of an unvented cylinder require notification to building control.
2. For the boiler:
2a. It is normal for the installer to self-certify and notify Building Control, one of the reasons he / she must be gas safe registered.
2b. The installer must also complete the Benchmark certificate. This is normally at the back of the installation instructions manual. It must be completed for any warranty to come into effect.
3. For the unvented cylinder:
3a. Again it is normal for the installer to self-certify and notify Building Control. To self certify he / she must be a member of a "G3" accreditation scheme. Gas Safe offer such a scheme, as do a number of other bodies.
3b. And again, the installer should complete a benchmark certificate for the installation.
3c. If the installer hasn't notified building control, they will inspect the installation if asked, but will charge you several hundred pounds for the privilege.
4. Gas safety certificates are only really relevant for let properties, when the landlord must get an inspection done annually.

a couple of weeks after install you should be getting a certificate from gas safe notifying you that it has been registered with gas safe and building control you should also be getting warranty information from the manufacturer

That's brilliant. Thanks @oldbuffer and @gas112

That's brilliant. Thank you for the response.
