From 1 April 2009 if you are having gas installations, servicing or repairs to any gas appliances in your home or business the work must be undertaken by a Gas Safe Register engineer.
The previously well known CORGI registered installer scheme is no longer valid or legal and has been replaced by the Gas Safe Register.
The new branding will be seen more and more on gas engineer’s vehicles, on their ID cards, in the media and on bill boards.
Every engineer will carry a Gas Safe Register ID card with their own unique licence number, showing the type of gas work they are qualified to do.
Before any gas work is carried out, always make sure you ask to see their Gas Safe Register ID card.
You can check what work they are qualified to do before you employ them.
You can find this information on the back of your engineer’s Gas Safe Register ID card.
Gas Safe registered engineers are professionals and will be happy to show their ID card to you.
