With over
30 years experience, CORGI is considered
the leading authority on gas safety
issues around the home. CORGI now also
provides information and support for
other trades including plumbing and
electrical work.
CORGI was
founded in 1970 to protect the public
from the dangers of unsafe gas
installations. CORGI are acutely aware
that poorly trained trained tradesmen
can give the industry as a whole a bad
name and bad experiences can make people
extremely wary when it comes to
employing someone to install or repair a
gas appliance.
By
maintaining an up to date register of
qualified gas installers and other
trades people, CORGI set to promote the
core values of professional service and
high standards in safety. Consequently,
the CORGI badge is now a guarantee of
quality making it the standard to look
for when employing a tradesman.
In
recent years, registration has become a
legal requirement for anyone installing
or repairing gas fittings or appliances.
So you can be sure that any work
completed by a CORGI technician will be
done competently and safety.
Checking an installer:
If you
are having work done in your home, the
person doing the work must be CORGI
registered. They must also hold correct
qualifications for the type of work
undertaken. Make sure that your
installer shows you their CORGI id card
before they start work. You can use the
CORGI website
to confirm the validity of the id card.
