Typical response from this bunch. I would never recommend a cowboy builder to do it himself. This guy legally can do it, and looks like he can as well.
Oh shut up ... I deliberately didn't quote your advice in the hope you would finally appreciate that this is a public forum, everyone is able to give advice without mouthy responses, professionals and amateurs alike and it's up to the OP to decide which to take.
Did I say it was or wasn't illegal?? back in yer box!!

Touch paper lit...
Wait for it...
Oh I know
but I'm not going to get drawn into a war of words, can't be bothered with that and too long in the DIYNOT tooth these days ...... I've said my bit and the OP can decide what they want to do 
How does he prove competency ?
ACS?
Read what I wrote. By his results. Not by a certificate. Many Gassafe guys I have come across I would not let through my front door. And they have pieces of paper.
Yep that would do
Couldnt give a toss, anyone carrying out gas work has to PROVE competency, you are correct that as he is working in his own home and not carrying out the work for reward that he does not have to be Gas Safe registered but he still has to be competent
Again..........Competency is proven by results, not by a piece if paper. It is not not difficult to understand.
The fact is he can legally move his boiler. Get used to it.
If he does what I wrote, no court would go against him.
FACT is he cant , get used to it, if he can PROVE competency then he can, but he cant so he cant legally do it, you go and do it for him, can you prove that you are competent ?
Having seen discussions many times on here for both plumbing and electrics, my conclusion is that the confusion starts with the building regulations because they are prescriptive, IE they they state the requirement for the end result, they dont define the route to reach that point.
The regs might just state competency, but it seems proving that means qualifications are pretty much a necessity.
That is completely correct
