Gas-fired pottery kiln installation

I'm intending to get a Corgi fitter to install my gas-fired pottery kiln. Has anyone had experience of this? Are there any issues that may arise that I should know about before finding a fitter? It's not as though a pottery kiln is the same as a cooker or boiler and they might balk at it. I've checked the uk.d-i-y archives on Google Groups and can't see anything relevant.

The installer will need to be qualified in working on kilns rather than the usual domestic boilers + water heaters + gas fires + cookers, so it won't do you much good just phoning up people from the yellow pages or corgi's website. I guess this is quite a specialised qualification so you may be best off asking kiln suppliers and/or maybe other gas-fired potters for some names.

Thanks for that. I hadn't realised that there were grades of Corgi qualification. Do you know if there's there a central register I can contact to see if there are any suitably qualified fitters in my area, for example on line, or by telephone?

They have a 'find an installer' page. I'm not sure what certification is required for a kiln, probably industrial heating?
