Gas Works

Doing Gas work outside of company

My landlord had his boiler replaced by a company recently. While they were doing the work on his property the engineer said that he could replace the boiler in this rental property, where I live, for less than he had been quoted from other companies. He came out today to do the quote, basically he works through the week for a company and does his own work at the weekend however he operates under his companies Gas safe number and not his own. If he was to install a new boiler would this invalidate the warranty? Can he legally work like this? would he be insured? When I mentioned that the new installed needed to be notified he implied that would cost extra as if it was not something he was going to do, which has made me suspicious but I have checked the Gas safe site and he is there under his company with both domestic and commercial qualifications. Update: Thanks for the answers, He specifically said he did not have his own Gas safe registration and only had his companies one.
