If you have ever wanted proof that the engineer servicing your boiler is a legitimate gas engineer, then you will be pleased to know that there is already a system in place that allows you to cross-check their legitimacy within the heating engineer industry in the form of the Gas Safe Register. Every gas engineer must be registered and is given a card as proof. So, if you need a guaranteed gas safe engineer in Welwyn Garden City, give our friendly team at Able Group a call today.
Originally , the gas registration body in the United Kingdom was known as CORGI and every engineer had to be CORGI registered. However, in 2009 this changed to the Gas Safe Register. The following year, Northern Ireland and Guernsey also changed to this gas registration body. By law, all gas engineers must be on the Gas Safe Register. The engineers will then be given a Gas Safe Registration card which can be checked online or on the phone at any time by the customer.
All Able Group engineers that undertake any heating work are Gas Safe Registered and we urge the customer to check to verify if they so wish. If works are being carried out on an oil boiler however, the engineer will not have to be Gas Safe Registered, as Oftec is the official governing body in this instance.
It is important for us to note that our local gas fitters in Welwyn Garden City can only deal with a gas leak once your property has been switched off by the supplier, National Grid. However, there are a few things we advise you to do if you smell gas in your property, these are:
When the National Grid arrives to turn off the gas at your property and it has been isolated, only then can we go to your property and check for the location of the leak and apply the appropriate repairs to the fault, if any are needed.
At Able Group, we are proud to offer our glazing services in Welwyn Garden City and the below areas.
