You could always get Oftec and Corgi registered and then you would know,but if you can manage without them,which you probably do, then stay that way,I know I would if I thought I could.

My understanding is that when we fit an oil boiler it is a notifiable event to Building Control.
If we want to self certify the installation we have to use an accredited body eg: OFTEC. OFTEC then check that our installer has the relevant OFTEC tickets - which now have to be renewed every 5 yrs......
If we are not OFTEC registered we cannot self certify and the householder may have to pay an ignoramus at building control to inspect it.
That is why I pay OFTEC.
One of my OFTEC qualified guys is just about to disappear for 4 weeks out of the next 12 and cost us £9K in 5yr Corgi reassessments (he has nearly every Corgi ticket obtainable). We now find out that his OFTEC is also coming up!
How are you meant to find time and money for all this! Are you saying we don't need to have OFTEC?

As you have said, being registered with OFTEC makes notifying simple, however you can also notify through NAPIT if you are registered with them, would have thought that CORGI would have jumped on the bandwagon by now. I just notify building control, £58.75, they never bother to inspect.
9K for reassessment, your having a larf.

It is 9K. If you have nearly all the domestic/industrial/LPG modules eg: industrial plant(?) that is what it is.
When we rung round all the centres the most common comments were;
-we don't have an assessor for half these
-is this bloke an assessor? Do we know him?
-Nobody could have all these modules
We couldn't find any centre in the South East who could do all the modules on my chap's ticket.
Which begs the question, are there too many different modules in order to carry out gas work? Normally a reassessment costs around £1.5-2.5K depending on whether our chaps are industrial or just domestic qualified.
