How do we deliver it?

Every heating job starts with confirming in writing who will do the work and what registration or certification they hold, and that paperwork goes into your handover pack.

Replacement windows, heating systems and some electrical work are controlled under the Building Regulations. In higher-risk buildings (18 metres or 7 storeys and above, with two or more homes), building work needs Building Safety Regulator approval before it starts unless it is exempt.
