Hi, I am in Birmingham Uk, and am planning to install a multifuel stove as a DIY project. I have notified building control, and an inspector came out. He wasn't helpful at all, and insisted I need a HETAS registered installer to commission the job and perform smoke tests etc in accordance with part J of buildings regs when I have finished installation.
I have found conflicting opinions all over the Internet, some saying I can do this myself, others say I need someone who has a qualification.
I have researched all the technicalities of installation and am fully confident I am able to fulfill all requirements, but I am reluctant to start work until I know I won't have a hurdle at the end of the job that can't be resolved easily regarding signing the job off.
Any advise greatly appreciated.
Paul.
