Thinking of installing a solid fuel appliance?

24/4/2018

 
We’ve visited a number of customers recently that are renovating their house and in particularly wishing to have an stove installed. They have wanted the chimney to be swept in readiness for a stove and thinking of installing it themselves.

Please be very careful, solid fuel appliances must be installed by a verified competent person for example a HETAS engineer, or certified by a building inspector if independently fitted. An engineer will issue you with a Certificate of Compliance (Building Regulation Compliance Certificate) on the completion of installation work.

The certificate demonstrates that the installation complies with the relevant Building Regulations. The information on the certificate is used to record your installation, and used to notify the Local Authority. This self certification takes the place of a Local Authority Building Notice.

The information can be required to validate your home insurance and will be required in any home selling process. Failure to notify the Local Authority can be an offence resulting in enforcement action.

As always, take care, stay safe and ensure those chimneys are regularly swept 🔥🎩 #sparklingflues
