There may be an occasion when you need to carry out some work that involved appliances that are powered by gas, however but, if you do, there are some very important considerations to make and it is critical for your own safety that you are fully understanding just what you are doing, as the work that is to be carried out has to be in line with the national gas safety regulations. When you use the services of a professional to undertake any work, their maintenance or installation of any new gas appliance and all gas work carried out in your home must be completed by a CORGI registered gas fitter and technician. Barbican Plumbers are qualified plumbing professionals. You must see the proof of identity of the technician
Note: It is very important that you asked to see proof of the operative’s identity in relation to the work that they wish to do, because failure to do this could put both yours and your family’s lives in danger. Every approved technician is issued with a CORGI annual (credit card size) identity card.
The card has the technician’s photo clearly shown on the front, which you must be able to see. Identity can be confirmed by calling corgi on (0870) 401 2300 or just log on to www.trust corgi.com. Broadgate Plumbers can work on all domestic appliances. Do not only look at the front of this card. On the reverse side of the card is a list of the specialist areas that the technician is approved to work on.
This includes:
Pipework. Central heating.
Cookers. Warm air heating.
Gas fires. Tumble dryers.
Example: Should you require work to carried out on your boiler. You need to confirm that this is on the list of specialization printed on the reverse of the card carried by the technician who is in attendance.
If you find that an operative is not registered you should report them to CORGI as they could be endangering someone’s life.
NO CARD NO WORK!
