gas certificates for building inspector?

[Pedro26]

Just getting round to getting the building inspector back in to sign off the new extension.

We had a couple of gas safe guys work on the job. The first one installed a new boiler etc. and we got the paperwork through for that. Got another guy in because the first guy was now too busy subbing for BG to call back (despite the promise). The second guy did the gas cooker and a gas fire (relocated in move not new appliances) and said we woud receive the paperwork. No certs arrived so called him back a couple of weeks ago, he said he would pop them through the door, no certs. Missus called him and he seemed to be confused asking if we wanted landlord's certificates.

To be honest I'm confused, I know you have to have a gas safe register bloke to do these jobs, but what should he (or the register) be giving me to show the the local BCI i.e. to show that we used the Corgi/gas safe register guy for the work?

Thanks

I figure there must be a cert otherwise why insist such work be carried out (former Corgi) GSR fitter. I didn't get his badge number, otherwise I could check with GS to make sure he has got cooker and fires on his list of competencies. The delay makes me wonder if he has been a bit ( a lot) naughty fitting things by rights he should not.

A bit late now I know, but the second guy does all the work & inspections etc for a mate's rental properties, so was recommended.

I guess if Agile was around on the forum he could answer this chapter and verse.

Anyone else know the correct answer?

Thanks

Only the fire is notifiable ( because it has a flue ).

Tell him you want a Cert from Gas Safe etc. And NOT one he writes although you could ask for one of those for the cooker.

An invoice or receipt with his name and GS number would suffice for the cooker work. Since he works for your friend and presumably issues landlord certs then his GS number will be on one of those bits of paper which your mate has to hand no doubt.

Thanks Tony and Great Bear,

I will ask my mate to get his badge number off my mates certs, then check with the Gas safe register. However, I don't want to drop him in it, but I do want the extension signing off by building control.

Cheers thanks a lot.

Frankly, if he's working outside of his registerred competencies, he's letting you, and others, down, and deserves to be dropped in it.
