Stockport smoke-control rules
Solid-fuel and stove work has an extra local air-quality check
Stockport Council states that Stockport is designated as a smoke control area under the Clean Air Act. That is particularly relevant where the heating job involves a wood-burning stove, open fire or another solid-fuel appliance rather than a conventional boiler or radiator repair.
Smoke-control rules restrict what can be burned
Stockport says householders in a smoke control area must not allow chimney smoke unless an exempt appliance or authorised or smokeless fuel is used. If the job concerns a stove or solid-fuel appliance, confirm the appliance and fuel rules before installation or alteration.
Oil and solid-fuel appliance installation can also involve Building Control
The council says Building Control consent is needed to install an oil or solid-fuel burning appliance unless the work is carried out through the relevant Competent Persons Scheme. Ask the installer how compliance and certification will be handled.

Before you hire
What should you check before hiring a heating engineer?

Check registration
For gas work, verify the engineer is appropriately Gas Safe registered for the work being undertaken.
Ask what diagnosis supports the repair
For recurring faults, understand the cause before repeatedly replacing individual parts.
Compare controls and commissioning
For new systems, include controls, balancing, water treatment and commissioning in the agreed scope.
