Most people find out what plumbing paperwork they should have when a buyer’s solicitor asks for it, which is the worst possible moment.
Worth knowing now, because the documents are easier to obtain while you are not under time pressure and while whoever did the work is still findable.

The four documents
- 1
The Building Regulations Compliance Certificate for the boiler.
Every gas boiler installation must be notified to Building Control, which a Gas Safe registered engineer does through the Gas Safe Register. You should have received a certificate afterwards. This is the one solicitors ask for.
- 2
Paperwork for an unvented cylinder,
if you have one. Unvented hot water installation is notifiable work with its own documentation.
- 3
Warranty registration.
Manufacturer warranties depend on the appliance being registered, usually shortly after installation, and on annual servicing thereafter.
- 4
The servicing record.
Dated records of each annual service. Without them, a warranty claim is likely to be refused however good the appliance is.
Why each matters, in order of when it bites
- The servicing record bites first, the moment something fails inside the warranty period. An unserviced boiler has a warranty that exists on paper only, and finding that out during a heat exchanger failure is expensive.
- The compliance certificate bites at sale. A buyer’s solicitor asks, and a missing one slows a transaction or becomes a price adjustment.
- The cylinder paperwork bites at both, since it is a warranty condition and a conveyancing question.
If you cannot find them
- Compliance certificate. If the installation was notified, a copy can often be obtained. If it never was, your solicitor can advise on regularisation through Building Control or on indemnity insurance, which is a legal question rather than a plumbing one.
- Warranty registration. Manufacturers can usually tell you whether an appliance is registered, given the serial number from the data plate.
- Servicing record. Cannot be reconstructed retrospectively. What you can do is start one now, and a first service gives you a baseline set of readings to compare against next year.
Retrospectively certify someone else’s installation
We can inspect it and report honestly on its condition, and that is a different document from a compliance certificate.
What to do this month
Photograph the boiler data plate, so you have the make, model and serial number somewhere findable. Then check whether you have the four documents above, and start the servicing record if there is not one. See boiler servicing.
The housing in Hazeley
Later development on the western side of the city, mains pressure throughout, unvented cylinders in many properties. Those cylinders carry safety devices needing an annual check, and a large number have never had one, which is both a safety point and a warranty one. See unvented cylinders.
Hard water
Same Anglian Water supply as the rest of Milton Keynes, around 300 mg/l of calcium carbonate against a UK average of 207, and MK8 sits at the harder end. Scale damage is not covered by any warranty, so preventing it is on you. See our hard water guide.

Frequently asked questions
What paperwork should I have for my boiler?
A Building Regulations Compliance Certificate, warranty registration, and a dated servicing record. Plus separate paperwork for an unvented cylinder if you have one.
I cannot find the compliance certificate.
If the work was notified, a copy can often be obtained. If it never was, your solicitor can advise on regularisation or indemnity insurance.
Can you certify my existing boiler installation?
No. We can inspect it and report on its condition, but retrospective certification of someone else’s work is not something any plumber can do.
My boiler has never been serviced and is under warranty.
Book one. Nearly all warranties require annual servicing, and a claim without records is likely to be refused.
Do you cover Medbourne and Oakhill?
Yes, along with Grange Farm, Crownhill, Two Mile Ash and Shenley Brook End.
