Why it matters
Gas work carried out by someone unregistered is both illegal and a genuine safety risk, since it bypasses the competency checks the register exists to enforce.
What to ask for
A Gas Safe ID card, which shows the engineer's licence number and the specific categories of gas work they're qualified to carry out.
Checking it independently
The Gas Safe Register website lets you search by engineer or company name to confirm registration, rather than relying on the card alone.
