ABSTRACT
Do I need approval to alter the position of a heating appliance within my house, shop or flat? ● Gas: Yes, unless the work is supervised by an approved installer under the
Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1984. ● Solid fuel: Yes. ● Oil: Yes. ● Electric: Yes, unless the work is carried out by a competent person who is
registered under a Government Approved Part P Self-Certification Scheme.
Oil storage tanks, and the pipes connecting them to combustion appliances, should be constructed and protected so as to reduce the risk of the oil escaping and causing pollution.
