Whether you are a landlord in London, a developer in the North of England, or managing a portfolio of HMOs across the UK, verifying your gas engineer’s qualifications is critical. The Gas Fitter Licence Database — maintained by the Gas Safe Register — is the official system used to confirm an engineer’s legal ability to work on gas appliances in the UK.
The UK does not have a separate public-facing “gas fitter licence database” by name — instead, all legally permitted gas engineers are listed on the Gas Safe Register, which acts as the sole national database of certified professionals.
Key facts:
All gas fitters must be registered with Gas Safe
Engineers receive a unique 7-digit licence number
Their qualifications and work scope are stored in the national register
The database includes engineers operating in England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland
Using this database is essential for landlords needing gas safety certificates (CP12), developers commissioning new systems, and homeowners requiring safe installations.
To search the database and verify a gas fitter’s licence:
Visit the Gas Safe Register’s official website:
➤ www.gassaferegister.co.uk
Use the relevant search tool:
“Check an Engineer”: Enter their 7-digit licence number
“Find a Business”: Search by company name or postcode
“Find by Location”: Search for registered engineers in your area
Check the results:
Active or expired licence status
Specific appliances or systems the engineer is certified to work on
Employer or business details
Gas work qualifications and coverage region
Under UK law, any gas work — from boiler servicing to new installations — must be completed by someone on this register. Landlords and agents must:
Only hire Gas Safe registered engineers
Carry out annual gas safety checks
Maintain accurate records for inspections and certificates
Provide valid CP12s to tenants within 28 days
Failure to use a licensed gas fitter from this database can result in:
Legal penalties or prosecution
Voided property insurance
Severe health and safety risks
