Checking exisitng gas safe records

[dfefferkay]

Recently bought a property with a view to renovate.

Is it possible to check online to see when the existing boiler was commissioned as there doesn't seem to be any paperwork. Worcester Junior 24i, looking at it could be about 5years old.

Thanks

Have you tried phoning gas safe up to see if it was registered??

Contact Worcester they may have it on file when warranty was registered.

I haven't tried anything yet to be honest, Its still going through but thanks.

I'm planning on moving the boiler to another room (non gas plumber, engineer will do the final connections) would this mean it would have to be re-commissioned ?

The engineer moving it would have to be GS registered.

Even to hang the boiler hell even to open the box that it comes in you need to be gas safe

So as non gas plumber I couldn't move it, hang it and pipe up to it?

(When all that really involves is a few compression nuts and drilling a few holes in a wall. oh, and not dropping it obviously!)

Yes also You need to drill the flue which how do you know is safe

no you can't

drilling out with a core bit is hardly technical but thanks for the advice, as id have assumed I would have been able to hang the wall frame etc.

(I don't mean to sound petulant , I'm genuinely not one to cut a corner or two)

You don't know if the hole is going to comply with regs

 

[dfefferkay]

You don't know if the hole is going to comply with regs

I understand, proximity to other dwellings, existing openings, heights etc.

(the new location would comply though)

Thanks again.

Thanks again for the advice.

what you dont seem to understand is the law. No you or a non registered plumber cant do anything with a boiler especially moving or installing one, after all who are you going to get to commission it once you have messed around? it is illegal for a gas technician to then come in and commission it!

Closing this thread now.

I think the op gets the point
