Gas Safe Register - National Watchdog for Gas Safety UK.

GAS SAFE replaced the CORGI gas registration scheme in Great Britain and the Isle of Man on 1 April 2009.

Anyone carrying out work on gas must be registered with GAS SAFE. If not, they are breaking the law and putting you and your family at risk.

Only a GAS SAFE registered engineer is legally allowed to install gas appliances, boilers, hobs, ovens or fires in your home or workplace.

You must only use a GAS SAFE registered engineer for any type of gas work, including installation, maintenance and servicing.

Top tips for gas safety: 

Always use a GAS SAFE registered engineer to install, repair and service your gas appliances, including your:

• gas boiler
• gas fire, gas cooker or hob
• central heating system, radiators or your hot water system, if they are connected to either a Natural Gas or LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) supply

Always ask for the card. GAS SAFE registered engineers all carry a Gas Safe Register ID card. It shows you what they look like and what gas work they are qualified to do. It also gives you a unique licence number that you can use to check they are still on the register.

Only allow an engineer to work on your gas appliances after you have checked their GAS SAFE REGISTER ID card. If you have any doubts call 0800 408 5500 and quote the unique licence number on your engineer’s ID card.

If you suspect an engineer is not registered and working illegally, you should report it to GAS SAFE REGISTER using the ‘Report an illegal engineer’ service.

Check that your engineer is qualified to work on your gas appliance.

Not all engineers are qualified to carry out all types of gas work. Make sure you check the qualifications on the back of their ID card to make sure they are competent to work on your appliance.

Get your appliances checked once a year, or in accordance with your manufacturer’s guidelines, by a GAS SAFE registered engineer.
