A question for gas boiler installers

[gaz1]

what a load of twallop

eletrical or gas has nothing to do with building control

electrical and gas both have there own certificates by there own recognised systems

quite frankly you dont need anymore more than that as its just another cash system for making the council money

so lets talk about councils building control protection new houses have it

built 2014 worth nothing

council wont pay owners out and neither will the insurance there left with a house mortgage and they cant sell to move elsewhere

We had to pay out £70 for having a window fitted by a non Fensa registered installer when we sold our last place.

I was planning on replacing my front door myself (I mean it's basically just something like 8 bolts and a **Language**-ton of silicon sealant) and this made me double check I didn't need building control approval.

I don't...but I'm still going to email them so that when we come to sell the place I can give them the hard copy saying that!

That said, our council is £110 for building control approval for new windows, cheaper to pay for the insurance policy!

Those houses are shockingly bad, I refused to fit an outside tap because I wasn't prepared to touch the pipes under the kitchen sink

However, they are in Bradford, large brown envelopes will have changed hands several times, in the majority of cases the building control does work. The article also fails to state that the membrane install can be proven with an intrusive survey, not cheap but would stop them being "worthless"
