New Boiler Installation - Certificates

[sermad]

Hi everyone,

I just had a valliant boiler installed by a corgi registered plumber. I asked about the certificates and he said you send the forms back to vallaint and then the certificates come later.

Is this right and what should I expect?

He should have filled in the benchmark certificate that came with boiler and notified the various parties as to the work he has completed.

 

[sermad]

Was that the commissioning form? He certainly filled this in - It's been nearly 6 weeks now since install and I'm a little concerned that the paperwork is taking too long.

Shall I call corgi?

What is it your expecting?

As long as you have the blue benchmark your ok

I believe I should be expecting the completion certificate but I'm guessing this comes from the council so it takes some time?

The installer has 30 days from completion to register the new appliance with local building control officer. This is done via Corgi, you should/must recieve a certificate detailing who/where/when and what was done.
If you have the companies/installers details ring Corgi and ask if its been registered.

did you ask your installer before he started work,regarding certs.

 

[heatingman]

The customer should not need to ask about certs, by agreeing to do work, the installer by default is implying that he is registered and competant in that area to carry out the work.
Still assumption is the mother & father of all f**k ups

what does he have to send back to vaillant?

what does he have to send back to vaillant?

This is the bit i didnt get either? Presuming its for registering that they own a vaillant appliance??

 

[gasisexpensive]

your quotation/estimate will tell what you will probaly get for your money.

 

[heatingman]

If your boiler is not registered the mans warranty is void, they will check before calling in response to call.
Contact Corgi to verify installers registration, if not registered you have a problem. Pressure corgi into reporting the a**hole to HSE for prosecution and then sue the doughnut, it will cost money to get the appliance re-installed and signed off by RGi and you dont want to pay twice.

Surely you know that CORGI have to be notified when a boiler is fitted and they send a blue certificate to the householder?

Or are you another cowboy who fit boilers without notifying CORGI?

Just because someone does not notify Corgi of an installation does not automatically make them a cowboy, I know some very good installers who refuse to noify Corgi, but that is because they are fed up with the police state control Corgi think they have over the industry, nothing to do with their abilities.
