    building compliance certificate

    Kevin is right, your installer is the only one who can notify his own work, to the building inspector. I'd suggest contacting your local building inspector, at your council and asking for advice, they may be able to inspect & issue a certificate.

    Valliant system boiler

    F28 is a flame failure. (failed to ignite) about only thing you can check, is that you have gas, do you have a card meter, is there credit? If a credit meter, check handle in on position.

    Magnaclean

    I;d never fit a boiler buddy! The magnacleans are all supplied with improved black valves, they did have problems with the red valves. Twin tech is probably about 30 more than a standard one.

    of course you can fit a wireless stat. You have two options, fit a wireless stat, for use with current programmer. Fit a wireless programmable stat, and replace your programmer with a single channel one for hot water control.

    Vaillant 837

    I think its a personal opinion, I;d recommend the 837, as about 150 more which isnt so much in the whole scheme of things. As stated, will give a better flow rate, filling your bath quicker.

    Magnaclean

    Its not essential to have the system flushed before fitting a maganclean, it all depends how bad your sludge problem is. The cost of a powerflush depends upon your system, but I'be be looking about 300-400 pounds incl vat & chemicals. I;d question your system design, if its built up sludge...

    Vaillant Ecotec 418 in a sealed system

    it is fine to a 418 on a sealed system, a sealed system shouldn;t be collecting any air in at all. the right equipment, means a fill loop to BS, an expansion vessel sized to system, a pressure relief valve, and a pressure guage. Automatic air vents shouldn;t be necessary, on a sealed system.
