Gas Safe checks and boiler sign-off

HSE says anyone employed to work on gas appliances in your home must be a Gas Safe registered engineer and competent in that area of gas work, and the categories of gas work an engineer is qualified for are marked on the back of their Gas Safe ID card. You can check a licence number on the Gas Safe Register website, on the freephone helpline 0800 408 5500, or by texting Gas and the seven-digit number to 85080.

Installing a new boiler needs building regulations approval, the Planning Portal says. A Gas Safe registered installer notifies building control for you, and you should get a commissioning certificate such as a Benchmark certificate when the work is finished. For water pipework, WaterSafe approved plumbers can carry out certain work without notifying the water supplier first, and issue a Certificate of Compliance.

Questions about hiring a plumber in Nottingham

How do I check a plumber is Gas Safe registered?

Ask to see the engineer's Gas Safe ID card, then check the licence number on the Gas Safe Register website, on the freephone helpline 0800 408 5500, or by texting Gas and the seven-digit licence number to 85080. The back of the card lists the types of gas work the engineer is qualified to do, so check it covers your job.

Does a plumber need to be Gas Safe registered?

For gas work, yes. HSE says anyone employed to work on gas appliances in a home must be a Gas Safe registered engineer and competent in that area of gas work. For water pipework, WaterSafe lists approved plumbers, who can carry out certain work without notifying the water supplier first.

Do I need building regulations approval for a new boiler?

Yes. The Planning Portal says installing a new boiler needs building regulations approval because of safety and energy efficiency. A Gas Safe registered installer notifies building control for you and should give you a commissioning certificate, such as a Benchmark certificate. If the installer is not in a competent person scheme, you or the firm have to give the council notice in advance and pay a fee.

What guarantee do Nottingham plumbers give on a new boiler?

On this list it runs from a 24-month workmanship guarantee at C-T Boiler Installations to 15 years at T & S Heating, which covers the boiler, radiators, pipework and labour as long as the system is serviced. Warm For Life and Fahrenheit Plumbing & Heating offer up to 12 years, and MB Plumbing & Heating and MCB Heating up to 10 years. Ask whether the cover is the manufacturer's or the installer's, and what servicing keeps it valid.

Is there a plumber in Nottingham available 24 hours?

Yes. Nottingham Gas & Plumbing has emergency plumbers on call 24/7 and aims to arrive within an hour, T & S Heating is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and Warm For Life and M & S Plumbing & Heating both take 24/7 emergency repairs.
