Plumbers
For work on gas central heating systems or gas boiler repairs, use a CORGI-registered plumber or central heating engineer.
Registration has become a legal requirement for anyone installing or repairing gas fittings or appliances. So, you can be sure that any work completed by a CORGI technician will be done competently and safely.
Illegal work is gas work carried out for gain by a person not working on behalf of a CORGI registered business. Such work is far more likely to be unsafe and, in such cases, the illegal gas worker far less likely to offer support to the customer in the event of an incident.
Tips when choosing a Plumber:
• Ask the plumber if they are a member of the Institute of Plumbing (IOP)
• Are the plumber’s work and new parts guaranteed?
• Ask for references from previous work
• Make sure that the plumber is not only insured for your property, but your neighbours also.
• Ask for all costs to be included on a quote in advance (including hourly rate, call out charge and parts).
