When gas is used correctly and with respect it is a safe and economical fuel. However - as with any area of expertise - people working with gas need to have the appropriate training and experience. As we are CORGI-registered installer's we have to undertaken a significant amount of training. The training and assessments that we as registered gas installers have are not only about the technical know-how of specific appliances but also about safety. All assessments have to be renewed every five years in order to keep us up to date with ever-changing standards and regulations and to keep our knowledge fresh.

It is not only illegal for people to work with gas unless they are CORGI- registered, it is also highly dangerous. Statistics demonstrate that a significant proportion of gas work carried out by people who are not registered with CORGI is incorrect and therefore potentially unsafe.

If you need gas installation or maintenance work, you can be sure that as a CORGI-registered installer we have the appropriate training and credentials.

Do not be afraid to ask to see our ID cards and check the details on the reverse. In order to protect the general public, CORGI-registered installers are:

• Given an identification card which should be shown upon request
• Required to obtain competency certificates in areas of gas work they carry out
• Required to update their proof of competence regularly
• Subject to regular work inspections carried out by CORGI Inspectors
