moving a boiler

[helpmandi]

hi we are hoping to convert integral garage to a room the boiler is placed on wall of 1 skin brick garage wall as the wall needs to be 2 skin or timber framed with insulation cavity i think we need to have the boiler moved ,
either placed back on same wall after 2 skin is completed or moved to the 2 skin brick wall next to where boiler is now which is approx 60 inch to left ,
if we get a plumber to move the boiler do we require/get corgi registered an a gas certificate ,for the move,
just query as build regulations we are just about to apply for to come view before we start .
thanks

Moving a boiler requires a gassafe engineer not a plumber. If your plumber is not registered then he cannot move a boiler. Removing the flue may be troublesome and depending on the boiler may not be available as a spare. You don't say boiler model.

Corgi ceased to be the registration body for gas engineers in 2009. Being Corgi Registered means nothing at all any more. You need a Gas Safe Registered engineer

It sounds like a reasonably simple job, but as 45years has said it depends on what the situation is with the flue
