It also gives you a unique licence number that you can use to check they are still on the register.Only allow an engineer to work on your gas appliances after you have checked their Gas Safe Register ID card. If you have any doubts call 0800 408 5500 and quote the unique licence number on your engineer’s ID card..
Check that your engineer is qualified to work on your gas appliance.Not all engineers are qualified to carry out all types of gas work. Make sure you check the qualifications on the back of their ID card to make sure they are competent to work on your appliance.
Get your appliances checked once a year, or in accordance with your manufacturer's guidelines, by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
