"Hetas" is the government appointed body to oversee the safe installation and use of all solid fuel appliances.
If your company is involved in domestic property such as,
Property conveyancing,
Property insurance
Building,
Property maintenance, etc
Or require Property completion certificate
then your clients may require a Hetas certificate for any solid fuel or woodburning fireplace or chimney, whether new or existing.
Many fireplaces have been installed in recent years that are not up to current safety standards, and with a rising number of diy disasters becoming evident, the time is here to protect your clients from this peril.
Last winter alone, Leicester Fire Brigade were called out to 19 chimney fires in the first 3 cold days (as reported in the Leicester Mercury).
A house in Loughborough was recently burnt down following a DIY woodburning stove installation with the owner being fined over £4000 for breaching building regs.
