fisherman Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 Hi This is my first post, and am new so please be gentle. My first property I am shortly to complete on has 3 bedrooms. In one of the bedrooms there is a gas combi boiler. When i was looking at some other websites about CP12 certificates it stated that you cannot have certain gas applicances in bedrooms in a let property. Is this right? Does it mean I may have to move the boiler to a non bedroom? Hope you can help. Stuart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart Hello Stuart You can have a gas boiler in a (normal) bedroom provided it is an existing fitment and complies with gas installation regulations and has been checked over and serviced with a Landlord's Certificate issued by a CORGI Registered Installer.- What you can't do is turn a room with a gas boiler in it into a bedroom ie a designated lounge or sittiing room. I believe that regulation came into force in the late 90's. Mel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bsc Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 My first post too...gentleness also appreciated I'd basically echo what Mel said, but might be worth adding that, under the '98 legislation, you can position a new boiler in a bedroom, so long as it's room shielded. Probably not of much relevance to most landlords here, but you never know who might churn this thread up in years to come looking for the info!

Samsian Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Appliance output, flue type, use of room & safety device will also have a bearing on what appliances are allowed where (new and existing)......again, only added here in case anyone else trwls the net for this info in years to come ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPEEDTWIN Posted September 5, 2010 Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 Also if you have a new boiler fitted you dont need a cert for 12 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
