Compliance Costs for Heating Work in Horwich
New boiler installations and significant heating system work in England and Wales must be notified to Building Control under Building Regulations Part L. Gas Safe registered engineers who are also registered with a Competent Person scheme (such as Gas Safe Building Regulations) can self-certify this work, which is typically included in their quote or charged as a modest additional fee.
Flue siting regulations may also require specific terminal positions or even planning permission in some cases — for example, where a flue would be located in a conservation area or on a listed building. Your Horwich engineer should identify any such requirements during the survey stage.
Failure to notify Building Control can create complications when selling your property, as solicitors will request evidence of compliance. Always ensure your installer provides a Building Regulations completion certificate or self-certification certificate upon completion of the work.
Gas Safety Certificates — What Landlords and Tenants Need to Know
A Gas Safety certificate, formally known as a Gas Safety Record (sometimes called a CP12 after the form used), is an official document issued by a Gas Safe registered engineer following an inspection of all gas appliances, flues, and pipework in a property. It records what was inspected, any defects found, and whether the installation is safe for use.
Landlords in the UK are legally required to have all gas appliances and flues in their rental properties inspected by a Gas Safe registered engineer at least once every 12 months. The certificate must be given to existing tenants within 28 days of the inspection, and to new tenants before they move in. Failure to comply is a criminal offence with significant penalties.
Not necessarily. A Gas Safety inspection checks that appliances are safe to use — it is a safety check, not a full service. Many landlords combine the annual inspection with a boiler service for efficiency, but the two are distinct procedures. A full service involves cleaning and checking internal components and should be carried out annually to maintain the boiler warranty and optimise efficiency.
Yes. Your landlord is legally obliged to provide you with a copy of the current Gas Safety certificate. If your landlord has not provided one, request it in writing. If they fail to produce a valid certificate, you can report the matter to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) or your local council.
If an appliance is found to be unsafe, the engineer will classify it as either "immediately dangerous" or "at risk" and will label it accordingly. An immediately dangerous appliance must be isolated and must not be used until the fault is rectified. The engineer will advise the landlord (and tenant) of the required remedial works. Landlords must arrange repairs promptly to maintain compliance.
