Boiler Installation sign off

[deanomc]

I have ripped out a one pipe system and installed new piping and new rads throughout my property and have just carried out a 48 hr pressure test without any faults. I am now at the point where I can get the boiler installed. My question is this, I will be getting in a Gas registered fitter to actually install the boiler and electrics and would like to know if I will run into problems getting him to sign it off as I have heard that they can only sign off their own work (which makes sense). So really my question is, is a Gas certificate for the boiler itself or is it for the boiler, pipework and rads. Thanks in advance.

just the boiler and any gas work you have him do.

just make sure the work you have done meets the current regs and your engineer does all the gas pipework, and boiler installation. The system will need to be commissioned by the engineer and benchmark filled out.

a Gas cert. is only for the gas appliance and gas pipework, so asuming you've not touched the gas pipe, your engineer will give you a certificate for the boiler and gas pipework but any garuntee he gives will only be for his work not yours

your 48 hour test, what pressure did you subject your pipework to ? hope it wasnt too high

48 hour test seems a little extreme to me!!
