What is a Gas Safe Engineer?
A ‘Gas Safe Engineer’ is a qualified professional/business who are legally authorised to carry out repairs, servicing and even installations on household gas appliances.
Registration with the Gas Safe Register is a legal requirement for engineers to ensure they meet strict safety standards to prevent common hazards such as gas leaks, carbon monoxide poisoning, and more. It is illegal for any individual/business to carry out any gas related work if they are not on the gas safe register.
What does a gas safe engineer do?
Gas safe engineers can carry out a number of different tasks and responsibilities involving gas boilers, general gas leaks, pipework and installation, and more.
Gas boiler installation, repairs and servicing
Repairing and servicing your gas boiler is vital to keep it running efficiently and safely. Keeping your gas boiler in good working condition ensures that your heating system is working as intended and not costing you extra money over time. We also offer gas boiler installation.
Gas pipework installation
Gas pipework installation involves careful planning and execution followed by pressure testing and ensuring proper ventilation.
Gas fire installation and servicing
Once again, gas fire installation needs to be carried out by a qualified professional to guarantee safety, efficiency and compliance with warranties. We’d also recommend annual servicing to keep the fire operating as intended.
If your gas fire has a back boiler, we can talk you through replacement options.

You should have your gas appliances checked annually by a Gas Safe registered engineer. If you live in a rented property, your landlord is legally responsible for ensuring your gas appliances are checked every 12 months, and a certificate should be issued for this.
Yes, a gas check ensures there are no gas leaks and that all your gas appliances are safe. A service is a more in-depth check to ensure that your appliance is safe, running efficiently, is not emitting any harmful gases and is required by your manufacturer for warranty purposes.
