To Get On Board

A campaign designed to inform installers about upcoming changes to the Buildings Regulations has been launched by Polypipe Building Products.

The new regulations came into effect in June 2022, allowing for a one year grace period that is due to expire on 15 June this year. This means installers will need to be up to speed on what the changes mean at the sharp end, when the rules come into full force.

Polypipe’s campaign is designed to make it easy to understand the new rules and will run throughout 2023. It kicked off with the launch of a new game show – ‘A Question of Regs’ – and will include a number of regional events and educational activities to offer installers support through this transition period.

Dan Love, head of commercial at Polypipe Building Products, says: “Last year England, Wales and Scotland introduced the biggest set of Building Regulation updates to impact the heating sector in over a decade. Heating engineers – whether they install oil, gas or renewables in existing homes or new builds – need to ensure that they are familiar with the changes. That’s why our team have introduced this multi-faceted campaign to support installers as this grace period draws to a close.”
