PAPERWORK FOR A NEW GAS FIRE

[davphi338]

Hi,

I had a replacement real flame gas fire fitted last November. The installer was Corgi registered but I never received any paperwork or certificates. Is this correct and should I chase up the installer to get any required certificates. I've read that I mean need a certificate of compliance.

Your installer should have notified CORGI by the Gas Work Notification Scheme. CORGI then send you a suitable certificate. Best chase him up.

All new gas appliances have to be registered with CORGI within 20 days of the work completing. Are you sure he was corgi reg and registered to fit gas fires

bet he was a fat bloke who also lectures in sparks

(he was on house of horrors a week or two ago)



sometimes CORGI take ages to send it. Give em a call

not all corgi reg installers agree with the GWN (corgi tax) and pay up like lemons saying that he should of filled out the guarantee and such, but it not uncommon for installers not too do paper work

thats as mebbe but they risk their registration

I checked he was Corgi registered and he still has a valid Corgi registration number so it seems strange. I didn't realise until recently that I was supposed to receive any form of certificate for a replacement gas fire. Will it be possible to get a certificate back dated? Also will I need a building control compliance certifcate or will a gas safety certificate be sufficient.

the building control thing is not nescessary as all RGI's are competant to self certify

call him and ask him, CORGI are usually very good if the forgot to register summink

not that I have ever

never have and never will gwn,have told corgi this and am still registered.corgi cannot afford to alienate the gas installers any more due to the possible backlash[read lack of mugs=no pension] always leave a invoice or cp1/cp12 whatever the customers preference,it is the homeowners responsibility to inform bc not mine.

On the Corgi site it states that not all Corgi registered fitters are able to self certify if they haven't signed up. You then get a different type of certificate and its up to the home owner to go the building control if required.

Never known corgi to take more than 2/3 weeks to send certificate on all of my jobs, in fact they have surprised me how quick they are

You say you have checked he is corgi, but as I previously said have you checked he is registered to fit fires

When I do a search for an installer on the Corgi site for an installer for gas fires it comes up with his name so I presume that means he is qualified for gas fire installations.

I'll give him a call tomorrow!!
