Had a boiler fitted three months ago, and had nothing from gas safe. Called them, they said they have not been notified, suggested that I take it up with my gas engineer - he has not returned any of my calls. What are the next steps to get this sorted?

And as an aside - the house I have bought has an old coin gas meter on the inside (You put a 50p in and it turns the dial, and the 50p drops out of the bottom!), although it has a separate meter outside - the coin meter must be there because I gues an old landlord was charging extra for the gas at some stage - it is irrelevant to my supply and I want it removed. If I call a (different) gas engineer to take out the meter and have a direct connection, would I expect to receive something from GHas Safe for this work?

to have the secondary meter removed is fairly straight forward and no you would not get anything from gas safe as they do not need to be notified on this work, was the guy who fitted the boiler gas safe registered ?

View media item 30709Go round to this Gas Fitter's house or place of work - or is it the old story where the guy fits it himself then claims the gas fitter has emigrated?
Thanks Morris
Yes the chap was and still is registered on the gas safe websaite. They When I spoke to them, they told me he has 30 days to register the boiler, and this has now passed by a couple of months - does this mean it would cost him more to do it if he does it late, as if so, I can see why he isn't answering my calls.

I think that the boiler can be registered at any time but they expect it to be registered within 30 days. You really should get him to do that as it covers notification to Building Control.
He really is a bit of a chimp!

Joe - you're an arse.
He gave me the landlords certificate already.
If you ever sold a property and gone through the conveyancing process, you'll know that when you say you had a boiler fitted, the solicitor will want more than a landlord certificate.
Now if you stop thinking everyone's doing their own gas work and spend some time answering some questions (which you may or may nor be able to do), that might help all of us.
