Verifying a gas engineer’s credentials is not just smart—it’s a legal necessity for landlords and property owners in the UK. Only engineers listed on the Gas Safe Register are legally allowed to carry out gas work on boilers, pipework, or appliances.
Fraser Bond offers this easy-to-follow guide to help you search the Gas Safe Engineer Register online and confirm that your installer is properly certified.
The Gas Safe Register is the UK’s official list of businesses and engineers legally authorised to work on gas. It replaced the CORGI register in 2009 and is the only body recognised by law.
All engineers listed on the register have been tested, certified, and approved to handle gas work safely.
You should always check the register before allowing any gas-related work to begin on your property, particularly for:
Boiler installations or servicing
Gas pipe installations or repairs
Annual landlord gas safety checks (CP12)
Appliance maintenance involving gas ovens, hobs, or fires
Go to www.gassaferegister.co.uk
You can search by:
Engineer Name
Licence Number (7 digits)
Business Name
Location (postcode or town)
Use the "Check an Engineer" or "Check a Business" tools depending on whether you’re verifying an individual or a company.
Once located, the engineer’s profile will confirm:
Full name
Registration status (active/inactive)
Valid licence expiry date
Types of gas work they’re certified to carry out
When the engineer arrives, cross-check their Gas Safe ID card with the online details—especially their licence number, work qualifications, and photo.
