Building Regulations and Gas Safe: what the paperwork means

Two pieces of paper stand behind every legal installation — here is what each one actually does, and who deals with them (us).

Gas Safe registration

Gas Safe is the official register of engineers legally permitted to work on gas in the UK — it replaced CORGI. Anyone touching your gas boiler must be on it. Our registration is 594385, it is printed across this site and on the paperwork, and you can check it on the Gas Safe Register's own site. A Gas Safe registered engineer is on site for the whole of every installation we do.

The Building Regulations notification

Fitting a new boiler is notifiable work: your local authority has to be told it happened and that it complies. We send that notification for you as part of every job — it is on the inclusions list — and the compliance certificate is posted to you afterwards.

Why the certificate matters later

The compliance certificate is the document a solicitor asks for when you sell the house, and the one that proves the installation was done legally if anything is ever questioned. Missing paperwork is a headache years after the installer is gone — which is why we handle it at the time and put the certificate in your hands.

What you need to do

Nothing — both pieces are our job. Keep the certificate and the warranty paperwork somewhere findable, and that is the whole of your part.

Common questions

How do I check an engineer is Gas Safe registered?

Ask for the registration number and check it on the Gas Safe Register website — every registered engineer also carries an ID card. Ours is 594385.

What if a boiler was fitted without Building Regulations notification?

It can surface as a problem when selling the house, since the compliance certificate will be missing. Local authorities have processes for regularising it, but the clean answer is an installer who notifies at the time — which every installation here includes.
