Hetas or general builder - install fireplace and fireback?

[jacko555]

I have been gifted large cast iron victorian fireplace.

I have a horrible and badly repaired, salmon tiled fireplace.

I want to remove the tiled fireplace and install the cast iron one in its place. The fireback in the tiled one is cracked, so, ill need to install a new one. Both fireplaces and "holes" are the same size ish.

Is this a job that requires hetas engineer? I've spoken to couple of installers, who said they only fit fireplaces they supply, and, suggested a general builder and a hetas cert probably isnt required.

In your opinion, is this a job for a general builder? Does it require a hetas cert?

Yes, Hetas. The builder could fit it and a Hetas plumber sign it off.

Did you find someone to do it? Most round here don’t want to engage as into wood burners. We are going to install outlet own
