We want a new boiler installed and access to the roof will be required to fit a new flue. Will the fitter we choose have to notify Building Regulations regarding the boiler installation? Is this mandatory and, if so, does someone come round to inspect the work? Any help appreciated, thanks.

No - the gas fitter will advise the appropriate body for correct installation for which you will receive paperwork eventually. Adding a vent slate to the roof isn't structural nor notifiable.

Noone will come and inspect the work, but you must make sure the fitter is registered with gassafe for it to be legal (you can check his number online).
 
yes the installer has to notify his work, a registered gas installer will be able to self certify the work he does

as an example we are gassafe registered for gas and Napit registered for electrical & Competent persons
We notify Napit they in turn forward the details to the relevant authority
who in turn issue the Blue Certificate
only 1 or 2 jobs a year get checked if any.

Hi, (I tried creating my own thread but didn't work so resurrected this instead)

we are in the process of selling our house and have a interested buyer. However, searches reveal that the boiler has not been registered with building regulation. Obviously the buyer is not happy about thus.

The boiler was installed in 2012 and we have the manual; the corgi guy who installed it has filled in his details in the back benchmark section. However I have been unable to locate him and he is no longer a registered installer. I tried finding him on the corgi website https://www.gassaferegister.co.uk/find-an-engineer/ but he's not there

Any advice on what I can do?
