as stan said you need to be G3 qualified as well

This question could be read two ways. If it's a straight boiler swap and the cylinder isn't being touched then there should be no problem with signing off the boiler install although if any work is carried out on the unvented the installer would need the ticket.

yeah its just a boiler straight swop,no need to touch unvented cylinder, so that would be ok for me to sign of just the boiler,and then advise the customer that he really needs the unvented checked as it is a rented house,and has been unchecked for a few years,thanks for your help mike

Unvented Cylinders should be serviced every year anyway (although no-one ever will). I guess as long as you're not messing with the wiring/controls and only the boiler, you should be fine.

i would still be wary. imo working on/replacing a heating source to an unvented cylinder means you need to know the regulations for unvented (g3) especially regarding the stages of control required for heat sources to the cylinder. Try and insist on it being serviced at the same time by a qualified person and they can ensure everything is fine.

Thanks for all your replies and advice. I contacted Gas safe myself, as I was unsure, and as it was only a boiler replacement they said it was fine for me to do it ,and sign it off, as I did not touch the unvented cylinder.
