- Gas work must only be attempted by Gas Safe registered contractors
- Gas Safe is the regulatory body that has taken over from Corgi.
- If you’re looking for a Corgi Approved Heating Engineer or similar, you now need to look for a Gas Safe Plumber or Gas Safe Heating Engineer instead.
When you are having trouble with a gas appliance in your home and you need help getting it fixed, the first person you call is a gas engineer. Yet, it is important that you choose a Gas Safe engineer to carry out repairs.
We all know that gas can pose a danger to our own health and family. Since we cannot see the threat posed by gas leaks, we need to call in an expert to get the job done right. The importance of choosing an expert cannot be stressed enough; gas appliances that are not installed or repaired properly can cause carbon monoxide poisoning, fires and even explosions. These are accidents that can be easily prevented.

If you have been looking for a CORGI Approved engineer to carry out any gas work in your home, you will now need to search for a Gas Safe Registered engineer. Gas Safe is the regulatory body that is currently operating in the UK that replaced CORGI in 2009.
About Gas Safe
It should be noted that Gas Safe are not a membership body; it is a system that has been created to maintain a high standard of gas safety in homes and businesses during installation and repairs. It is now British law that all engineers working with gas appliances must be Gas Safe Registered to continue supporting these high safety standards in the UK. This regulatory body frequently conducts inspections of the services that are offered by registered engineers to ensure they are qualified and experienced enough to continue working in homes across the UK.
Just as the name suggests, a Gas Safe registered engineer can inspect, install and repair gas appliances in your home safely. This can include many appliances, such as fixing gas cookers, heaters and central heating boilers. Every Gas Safe engineer has become registered because they possess the qualifications and knowledge that is required to carry out installations and repairs effectively following safety procedures, without putting families in danger from unnecessary risks. With a Gas Safe Registered engineer, you can have the peace of mind that they are the best person for the job and will get it done right the first time.
You can check to see if an engineer is Gas Safe registered via the website online or by asking for evidence from the engineer before they start work in your home. Every Gas Safe registered engineer has an ID card that has been issued to them. This will show their name, photograph and registration number, so you know you can rely on their services.
Not to mention, it is now the law that engineers must be Gas Safe registered before they carry out work on your gas appliances in your home. Choosing someone you know is not registered to fix or install your gas appliances not only puts you and your family at risk, but it can also land you in trouble with in the law. Nobody wants that.
