It has the cover on now - it was removed temporarily because we had underfloor heating installed today so I took the picture whilst they were mid way through the work.
Welcome to the forum. Although you can post in any forum, the USA forum is here in case of local regs or laws

There’s no legal requirement to issue you with a certificate.... even for a new install.

As far as I’m aware, the only requirement for a legal bit of paperwork is a cp12( landlords check)
Hi Bogrodder - I calles Gas Safe customer services they said all registered engineers must issue in 30 days? They said if its being moved they must be notified so the council can be informed of the move - is that incorrect?
That connector shouldn’t be on the condense pipe either. It should be solvent and as Shaun said. Where the UFH people Gas Safe?
Yes they were - hopefully I dont get any further problems have enough to deal with right now!

other than what you have said did they tell you they spotted anything else / general quality of install etc?
They just mentioned to me that magna cleaner should be in the other pipe and the cold water tank has not been cleaned as agreed. The one thing they said has been done right is the pressurizing of the heating system.They did say something about the pipes used as well but didnt go into detail after that.
Thought you would be used to that by now HV, some people like to keep their post numbers up! 😀
Hello Riley,
About 2 years after the requirement to notify the installation of Gas Boilers first became a legal requirement I moved a Boiler which had been installed and notified a year previously from a Kitchen to the back wall of a newly built extension.
Although I believed that this should definitely be notified because of certifying that it had been moved / reinstalled by a CORGI registered Gas Engineer / Installer and that all pertinent Gas Safety Regulations and Building Regulations had been adhered to there was some debate about this with a couple of friends / colleagues who were Heating Engineers / Gas Engineers so I telephoned the CORGI Technical Helpline to confirm my stance on the matter.
The CORGI Technical representative disagreed with me - He was stating that an already notified Gas Boiler that was moved but still in the same Household / Building did not need to be notified because in His opinion the notification process was to ensure that only Condensing Boilers were being installed [apart from where there were dispensations for difficult circumstances] and as the Boiler had already been notified there was no need to re-confirm that it was still installed at the same address.
I stated that this would mean that Boilers could be moved by Non CORGI Registered Operatives - there would be no record of the `Gas Appliance Works`and that the installation might not meet the appropriate Gas Safety Regulations / Building Regulations.
He stated something like - `How many Boilers get moved within the same Home ?` - `probably not enough to be concerned about`.
I was not happy with that response and I went ahead and notified the Boiler move / re-installation.
I should have phoned again and spoken to a different `CORGI Technical Advisor` to see whether that attitude / `advice` was just that of the individual that I spoke to or also that of another CORGI Technical Advisor.
At that time and probably still now with Gas Safe there was no point in trying to discuss this with the CORGI Gas Appliance Notification Telephone representatives as they were `Notification Admin Only` Employees with no Technical knowledge on Gas Boiler Installation notifications or any other Gas Safety / Gas Utilisation Technical matter.
As I mentioned this was quite a few Years ago and although I personally have only moved 5 or 6 Gas Boilers within the same premises since then they have all been notified and registered as having been moved / re-installed by a Gas Safe registered Gas Engineer / Me complying with all applicable regulations.
I feel sure that We are correct that a Gas Boiler which is moved within the same Home / Building should definitely be notified for the reasons described in my second paragraph above and I hope that Gas Safe Technical would give confirmation of that.
Chris
My shorter response is that I saw a gas safe inspector recently and he said whenever moved needs notifying
Thanks Chris! Will follow up with Gas Safe to check if they have been notified yet-
