How do I know my gas engineer is qualified to do the work?
Gas engineers will often have a range of qualifications that
allow them to carry out specific types of gas work. It’s important
to check what work they are qualified to do before you use them.
You can find this information using our check
an engineer service and by looking on the back of their
Gas Safe Register ID card.
Every gas engineer carries 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.

Why do I need to make sure my gas engineer is on the Gas Safe
Register?
It’s all about safety. If someone other than a Gas Safe
registered engineer does the gas work in your home, you could be
risking the safety of your family and your property. Badly fitted
and poorly serviced gas appliances can cause gas leaks, fires,
explosions and carbon monoxide
poisoning.
