- Provide the boiler make, age and any fault code.
- Say how many radiators or heating zones are affected.
- For replacement work, list hot-water demand and property size.

Leicester heating and clean-air context
The whole city is a smoke-control area
Leicester re-declared the entire city as one Smoke Control Area in 2018. That matters particularly where heating work includes a solid-fuel stove, fireplace or other combustion appliance rather than a normal gas-boiler repair.
Leicester's Smoke Control Area covers the whole city
Leicester City Council re-declared the whole city as a single Smoke Control Area from 1 June 2018. Homeowners considering wood or solid-fuel appliances should check the current authorised-fuel and exempt-appliance rules before choosing equipment.
Heating alterations can sit within Building Regulations
Leicester's Building Control guidance covers building standards including boilers, chimneys, ventilation, energy conservation and related safety issues. Ask the engineer which certification or notification route applies to the exact installation.
