It is vital that if you plan on having any gas works done in home, whether it be to install a boiler or just a gas hob, to be competed by a Gas Safe Registered Engineer. It is not worth putting your family and home at risk of gas inhalation, fire or explosion, even if you can get a cheaper price from an unregistered engineer. 

In May 2014 a handyman who was not registered with Gas Safe Register was sent to a private Fulham home to cut a gas pipe that was causing a tripping hazard in the living room. Shephards Bush Housing Association though the gas pipe was not connected to the mains gas at the time. However when the pregnant, mother of two, topped up her prepayment meter that evening, gas flooded into the property causing a serious risk of fire and explosion.

Fortunately, there were no injuries and there was no damage to the property, however Health and Safety Executive (HSE) inspector Zameer Bhunnoo said: " It is essential that landlords have adequate procedures in place to ensure that an appropriately competent tradesperson is assigned for any repairs required. In this case, a Gas Safe registered engineer should have been used."

For any gas works in your home, please call our Gas Safe Engineers to be peace in the knowledge that your home and family are safe from gas-related dangers.
