Whether you're a landlord in Belfast, a homeowner in Lisburn, or a developer working across Northern Ireland, gas safety compliance is a non-negotiable legal requirement. Ensuring your gas engineer is Gas Safe registered protects tenants, your investment, and your reputation as a property owner.
The Gas Safe Register is the UK’s official registration body for gas engineers, replacing CORGI in 2009. All engineers working with gas appliances in Northern Ireland must:
Be Gas Safe registered
Hold up-to-date qualifications
Display a valid Gas Safe ID card on every job
Working with unregistered gas professionals is illegal and can result in serious safety hazards and legal liabilities for property owners.
To verify if a gas engineer is legally qualified to work in Northern Ireland, follow these steps:
Visit the official Gas Safe Register website
Use the “Find an Engineer” tool
Search by postcode, company name, or engineer licence number
Confirm that:
The engineer is licensed for gas work in Northern Ireland
Their qualifications match your required service (e.g. boilers, cookers, flues)
Always request the engineer’s Gas Safe ID card before work begins — it will clearly show their approved work categories and expiry date.
Under UK law, landlords in Northern Ireland must:
Conduct annual gas safety checks (CP12) for all rental properties
Provide tenants with a valid gas safety certificate within 28 days of inspection
Keep detailed records of all inspections and works carried out
