Anyone who has been a homeowner for a few years will remember that, when employing a gas engineer, the thing to look out for was the CORGI registration logo. Anyone that had the CORGI accreditation was proven to be a reliable and safe person to work with gas installations.
Corgi’s successor, the Gas Safe Register, replaced the CORGI scheme as the gas registration authority in Great Britain and the Isle of Man in April 2009 and in Northern Ireland and Guernsey a year later in April 2010 It is that accreditation that you should now look out for when looking for someone to work on your gas appliances such as gas hobs and ovens, gas fires and gas fired boilers.
By law all gas engineers must be listed on the Gas Safe Register and you should be certain that this is the case before hiring anyone to work on any gas appliance. There are currently over 125,000 engineers registered on the Gas Safe scheme.
If you live in and around the Milton Keynes area, when searching for a gas engineer, a good place to start would be the Internet. If you were to search Google for a gas engineer in Milton Keynes then your browser will be full to the brim with possible businesses. Obviously, it is better wherever possible to deal with a local firm – preferably one about whom you have some knowledge or, perhaps, a recommendation from a friend or colleague.
When you decide which of the results on your search page to click on, look out for those who not only offer gas engineering services but whose range of talents also include plumbing, electrical work and general household maintenance. This avoids the needs to employ several different firms for the same job.
In particular, look out for a company that can say that all of their engineers are gas safe registered, fully trained and qualified to a high standard.
