benchmark would cover new install, but u would need cert for existing appliances and pipework.

Pipework can be tested as new.

All existing appliances would require the safety check as per the regs.

Thanks for your help, just checked corgi site new appliances should be safety checked within 12 months of their installation date.

a) a copy of the record made pursuant to the requirements of paragraph (3)(c) above is given to each existing tenant of premises to which the record relates within 28 days of the date of the check;

Within 28 days of the check. that reads 1year and 28days

and
(b) a copy of the last record made in respect of each appliance or flue is given to any new tenant of premises to which the record relates before that tenant occupies those premises save that, in respect of a tenant whose right to occupy those premises is for a period not exceeding 28 days, a copy of the record may instead be prominently displayed within those premises.

No problem it refers to the old boiler

like i mean within 12 months if i where you i would get them checked by a suitable gas engineer before you get a tenant in the number of knubscull installers who as they say in the trade frow them in,

do yourself a favour and peace of mind of the tenants your moving in get yourself for £35 a proffesional gas safety check done stright away, because it can save you money in the long run, like bad installations which you can then call them out to rectifi

number 1 installation fault flow & return not in 22mm for the first 3 m with a differention valve fitted.

these fitters always run off in 6 inch 22 then stright into 15mm with the dierential valve fitted 6 inch from the boiler and it should be 3 meters but if you want to listen to doitall fitter when the pancakes fly they will all stick to the ceiling.

I dont understand why so many people have so much difficulty understanding regulations which are to me at least so easy to understand.

Can I give an example?

1st January 2006 Gas Safety Inspection

1st March 2006 Boiler fails and is replaced by a CORGI.

1st January 2007 Gas Safety Inspection

The new boiler does not need any new certification because it was fitted by a CORGI and as well he completed the Benchmark.

The annual inspection and Certificate was issued within 12 months of the installation of the new boiler.

Its pretty simple and obvious really.

Thank you Tony, some of us know that.

Poor old Bob thinks the guy that does the LGSC is a different one that does installation work.

Agile · 19 Jul 2006

As long as they are both CORGI it does not mater who does what.

All CORGIs are equal in the eyes of the law.

You may well be right, especially in London.

But think of it another way, if say 50% of every installation you come across is poor. What percentage would you give to Landlord certificates, being a duster and form filling exercise. Minimum checks, Certificates for mates, etc, etc. Sorry Bob, who checks the checkers, when the system is designed for abuse and rip-off merchant.

Thanks for the generalisation, I am an installer & I have a very good knowledge of Gas regs because if I didn`t I wouldn`t be Corgi registered.I also consider myself literate..people in glass houses..throwing stones..& all that.
