PROBABLY DUE TO NOT BEING REGISTERED HIS SELF!! DON'T DEAL WITH BUILDERS WERE GAS IS CONCERNED, GET A SEPARATE GAS SAFE REGISTERED MAN IN! They give you a price and get some one in to sign it off illegally! and pocket the labour for illegal work! BUILDERS ARE THE WORST CULPRITS FOR ILLEGAL GAS WORK ON THE SIDE! 1. They're ripping you off 2. putting you in danger Any builder will show you his engineers details,and introduce you to him! Not all people are like it. WWW.GASSAFEREGISTER.CO.UK. If your builder has done gas work,and is not registered,report them to gas safe or HSE kieran

as the agent he should have a copy of the certificate,I have a house that is let the agent takes care of most repairs any certificates that are required are copied and sent to me to show the work has been carried out by a competant tradesman. peronal opion is that this agent is not using a certified fitter your estate agent is wrong if a gas safe/ corgi fitter is hired to look over an appliance they have 2 options repair or condem if it is condemned then it is the landlords responsibility to replace the appliance, if the fitter repairs the appliance it is his responsibility to leave it in a safe working condition free of gas/carbon monoxide leaks no ifs no buts repair or condem. you should go to trading standards against the contractor and enviromental health against the landlord and his agents, as the dwelling is now uninhabitable if a company is employed to carry out work on your house and that company then sub contracts work out the buck stops at the company that you have got the contract with not the sub contractor . it is the company that has been employed to carry out the work originally not the sub contractor that needs to put it right

Hi there, quite simple because he probably is not registered. If you have his company name, you can search on the gas safe register to find his details. If they are not listed on the gas safe register then he is not registered and operating illegally.

If you suspect that the work carried out, was done by someone who was not gas safe registerted OR that the work is sub standard/dangerous. Call Gas Safe on 0800 4085500. It is part of their remit to investigate illegal gas workers (HSE will prosecute based on their findings) and they will also do a safety check for you. They don't charge you for this. Please don't hold back from reporting them, it's an opportunity to get rid of cowboys and prevent other peoples lives from being put at risk.
