How to Search the Gas Safe Engineer Register Online
A Step-by-Step Guide from Fraser Bond
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.
What Is the Gas Safe Register?
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.
When Should You Search the Register?
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
