Follow these steps to confirm that your engineer is registered and qualified:
Step 1: Visit the Official Gas Safe Register
Navigate to the UK’s official database at:
www.gassaferegister.co.uk
This is the only legitimate platform for checking certified gas professionals.
Step 2: Use the ‘Check an Engineer’ Tool
Select the “Check an Engineer” feature on the site. Then:
-
Enter the six-digit licence number
-
Alternatively, search by business name or postcode
Step 3: Review the Engineer’s Profile
The search results will display:
-
Full name of the engineer or plumber
-
Business or employer details
-
Registration status (active or expired)
-
Types of gas appliances they are qualified to work on (boilers, cookers, LPG)
-
Contact details, where available
What to Look For
-
The licence must be currently active

The name should align with their Gas Safe ID card and any official documentation you have received
