Cheers I'll give the GSR a ring tomorrow!

OK magically a building compliance slip as turned up from the GSR However two errors 1) The address is slightly wrong it states the wrong county even those the house address and post code is correct 2) it says "Install a hot water system with vented hot water storage" when it was an unvented...

I've never been asked to provide a G3 unvented cert which is why this caused all the confusion if I even needed one. They only ever ask for the GSR when I sold my last two properties

Cheers! So much for a G3 like body like the GSR forcing them to do this! If there's no risk of getting caught no wonder companies don't do paperwork properly!

Update - Installer and housebuilder still ignoring me LABC said it's not their problem it's down to the CPS they used (still haven't confirmed which CPS if any) GSR won't help as they confirmed they aren't the CPS for this installer and it's not a gas safety issue Trading standards can't help...

OK the install was done by a person who is G3 registered through the GSR. I've checked their records and it does say "unvented systems". However they didn't do any of the commissioning paperwork nor notify LABC. And I still don't have a compliance certificate. They don't seem to be forthcoming...

Will do. I just can't believe a house builder with all the NHBC and regulations they'd cock up on something like this

They replied today….sent me the commission doc and compliance cert for the gas boiler….which I already had I’m beginning to wonder if they have anything now

Got it!

Large builder like one of the big 3....but then I'm not surprised I found wiring done incorrectly despite having a signed EICR.......they corrected it but when I asked why it was done wrong (and signed off) they just kept saying "we corrected it what more do you want?" So just to confirm i'm...

That's exactly what the BC said. Question is how do you find out which third party inspectors? Builders are just acting as a middleman so whatever I said just gets passed onto the installer. But then I don't get a response back.

Thing is I rang Building control and they said they don't do them anymore and told me to refer to a CPS. The installer is still about but they said it's the builders problem.

If they refuse any of this - whom do I report them to?

I'm trying. Rang them today and they just kept saying "it's down to the house builder to register with the LABC". Dunno why they are being so hard work

Thanks very informative. It's the same installer. Weird thing is I moved in over 2 years ago and the LABC haven't got records of it! I rang them to ask. They reference the competent person scheme but couldn't tell me which one. As a result of not receiving a manual I wasn't aware the cylinder...

Hello, I have an unvented cylinder which was installed at the same time as a gas boiler on a new build. However I only have a building compliance certificate from GSR which lists the boiler specifically. Plus a boiler manual - stamped etc with installer details. I never got any certificate or...

Yeah said to add a one way valve or a tundish. I said a tundish is no good as it lets foul smells back into the room. So the plumber fitted a one way valve today

Rang Ideal - they were helpful - they are coming to have a look at it. If it's done incorrectly least then I can throw that back at the builder!

Hi yeah I've asked the question to the builder it's under 2 years. They keep bringing back in the plumber to try different things. How they are on about ripping my cupboard out to inspect the waste pipe :(

Yes it is. It was ideal who said it shouldn’t do that…
