In some cases householders may decide to engage a firm that is not a member of one of the approved Competent Person schemes. In this case the installer will not be able to self-certify that their work is compliant, and the firm or the householder will need to give notice to your Local Authority of the intention to carry out the boiler work in advance, and pay a notification fee.* Local Authority Building Control may choose to check the works have been carried out to the necessary standards and may employ a registered installer to do this.When works have been completed the installer should then produce for you a commissioning certificate such as a Benchmark certificate and notify the local* authority building control department either directly, or, if a member of a* Competent Person Scheme, via the scheme operator.* In due course the local authority should supply you with a Building Regulations Completion Certificate that indicates compliance.Guidance on installing boiler and other combustion appliances, and the building provisions that are necessary to safely accommodate them (air supplies, hearths, fireplaces, flues and chimneys) can be found in*Approved Document J.
