provision of part L in existing properties

[TFGplumbing]

Ok so iam pricing for x2 full oil heating installs, whoop

The properties have never had central heating, so acording to part L they are classed as a ''new system'' and have to comply with part L
Heat losses for these both these properties are sub 15kw so nice small boilers

Surely to hell it's not cost effective to install two heating zones on such small properties?

How exactly does a new install in an existing property have to comply?

If floor area less than 150m sq then 1 zone will do (from memory)
Or if a conservatory is on that will need to be zoned

 

[plumben]

As said above 150msq total floor area or less one zone anything more and its 2 zones
Or if theres a conservatory or garage with rad in it

Thanks guys anyone know where I can have a peak at L1? Perhaps the has been an amendment because all I can see is x2 heat zones required whether it's over or under 150m2

Sure m8 I have a copy.
Pm me your email

Further to that - you have an old version. The ammended version removed that rediculous condition...

Note sure if anyone has posted this but it is the document that sets out what is required for all domestic systems both new & existing under Building Reg's. Oil is section 3.

With all due respect TFG if you are a heating boy you really should have your Part L ticket. (if any where is sill running them!)

Hell no iam not pay for more tickets, even if I had all the tickets in the world I still wouldn't know everything

Thanks for that chris that was just what I was looking for

No & neither do I, but if you had sat in on one of my Part L's you would at least have known about the compliance guide & what was required for your two installs plus a hell of a lot more.

It is not (or shouldn't be) all about the ticket at the end of the day.

By Law you can't even install a cylinder let alone a boiler without having the Part L, just a shame it is never enforced :bigcry:.
