Why Choose a Gas Safe Registered Engineer?

By law, all engineers must be Gas Safe ™ registered to safely and legally work on gas appliances. This includes installations, maintenance, servicing and repair of all gas cookers, fires, boilers and hobs.

But, it should not be assumed that all gas engineers are on the register and you should always check before you go ahead with any work. You can do this by visiting the Gas Safe website www.gassaferegister.co.uk.

Gas appliances that are fitted, repaired and maintained by a Gas Safe engineer are very safe, however you could be putting yourself and your loved ones at risk if your instruct an engineer who is not qualified or up to date with the current legislations set down by Gas Safe Register. You should also never attempt to carry out work on gas appliances yourself.

According to Gas Safe Register over 1 million jobs are carried out by unqualified fitters. This can be very dangerous, as poorly fitted and maintained appliances can cause Carbon Monoxide Poisoning, Gas Leaks, Fires and even Explosions.

You should always use a Gas Safe Registered Engineer such as those at M J Burt Property Maintenance Ltd. Registration Number 211560

How to check an engineer is on the Gas Safe Register?

A qualified Gas Safe Engineer will always carry their identification card with them and should be willing to show this to you. The information on this card includes the engineer's photo ID, their name and company that they work for, their licence number and the validation dates for their registration. The back of the card also shows what appliances they are qualified to work on. Not all gas engineers are qualified to work on all appliances. It is always worth checking this information before an engineer starts work on your appliance. If they cannot provide you with this evidence, it is worth delaying the start of your work.

Do not assume that because a company displays the Gas Safe Register logo on their website or vans that they are actually registered. Always do your homework.
