i have an old gas fire in my living room that i wanted removed and the gas pipe capped off.... does the plumber need to be gas safe??

YES,your plumber definitely needs to be Gas Safe registered.Ask for his gas licence number and visit gassaferegister.co.uk to verify he is gas safe registered.If he does not want to give you his licence number ,then the chances are he is an illegal gas worker that could cost you your life.A genuine Gas Safe engineer will not mind to have his gas licence checked.

Yes.

yes

seriously would you want someone in your home playing around with the gas if they werent gas safe.

Yup.

yes he does need to gas safe

Yes an absolute must, always ask to see his/her gas safe id and even check with gas safe. After anything gas is capped a gas test must be carried out at the meter to confirm there is no leak and it is safe to carry on using the gas carcass as the supply.

Yes he needs to be gas safe as he is about to Capp the gas pipe . The fire is ok it's the gas pipe and the capping is the prioritie.

Hi David, Any gas related works must be carried out by a gas safe registered engineer. It really is not worth the risk by having the works carried out by anyone who is not gas safe registered. hope this helps. Darren Betts

without doubt ,yes

yes he does, and dont be affraid to ask for proof that he is

It is an offence to do any form of gas work without the relevant gas safe qualifications and registry .It is your responsibility to ensure that they are qualified by checking their I'd and that it is in date and that on the reverse side of the I'd card they hold the qualification for what they are working on eg a gas fire is a separate qualification to a gas boiler,cooker,hob,meter ,the gas safe card is just to say they are gas core qualified

Yes. All gas related work should be completed by a Gas Safe registered engineer. You can always check their registration on the Gas Safe website.

Yes definitely, gas is no matter to be messed with as it can be extremely dangerous. A gas safe engineer would be trained in carrying out the work safely and legally

You will require a Gas Engineer when it comes to any type of Gas work. Yes the Gas engineer must be Gas safe registered, they should have their gas safe card on display before commencing work or you could simply request for them to show it to you before they start working. If they dont have it on them ask for the number and check it on the gas safe register website. If it doesn't show up on there the chances are they are not gas safe registered, in which gas I would advise you do not let them commence work, by doing so you are ensuring the safety of yourself and others. Hope that helps.

Yes you have to be gas safe to carry out any type of gas work hope this helps Thanks Jack howes

Absolutely yes!!!!! Always use gas safe registered engineers you can check the engineer via the gas safe website with his/hers licence number which will inform you if they are gas safe registered and if they are qualified to work on the appliance you require them to
