- 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.

Romford smoke-control rules
Solid-fuel and stove work has an extra borough-wide air-quality check
Havering states that the entire borough is a Smoke Control Area. That is particularly relevant where a heating job involves a wood-burning stove, open fire or another solid-fuel appliance rather than a conventional boiler or radiator repair.
All of Havering is in a Smoke Control Area
The council says solid-fuel users must use authorised smokeless fuel and/or an exempt appliance, and that burning wood and coal in an open fireplace is not permitted. Confirm the appliance and fuel rules before installing or altering solid-fuel heating.

Heat-producing appliances also sit within Building Regulations
Havering lists heat-producing appliances among the matters covered by Building Regulations. For installation work, ask how compliance, commissioning and any competent-person certification will be handled rather than treating the job as a simple appliance swap.
