Newly gas safe advice please

So you would service the boiler eg fga test Gas rate it etc

There was supposed to be a 26 and (9) in between your and check in my post but missed it out. These should be done anytime a GSR does anything to a boiler itself as a minimum mate. (In my eyes). You are the last man there In a court of law

Yea but it says

1. (a) the effectiveness of any flue;
   
   
2. (b) the supply of combustion air;
   
   
3. (c) its operating pressure or heat input or, where necessary, both;
   
   
4. (d) its operation so as to ensure its safe functioning,
   
   
   So in short a service every time you remove the case, can understand on a positive pressure boiler yes fair enough, but on a room sealed it's a bit much for changing a let's say prv

I understand your point mate but yes on most I do. But I don't class that as a service. As not been cleaned out.

If you take the case of a new vaillant for example you should be doing all your check. The PRV is behind the case seal and only a GSR can say that the seal is safe.

Agreed, the moment you take the case off the boiler to work on it then you are responsible for the safety of the appliance.
