Please ensure that if you get any commercial or domestic gas work done, always use a competent, appropriately qualified, gassafe engineer. Further details below 👇🏻

⚠️ Always check your gas engineer is Gas Safe registered

An unregistered gas fitter has been sentenced after illegal work at a Torquay home left a family of six – including four young children – in an immediately dangerous situation.

The engineer's Gas Safe registration had lapsed, yet he continued working. The result? A gas leak, multiple installation faults, and a capped gas supply.

He received a 15-month suspended prison sentence and 150 hours of unpaid work.

Gas work by unqualified individuals can lead to leaks, fires, explosions and carbon monoxide poisoning.

Before any gas work, check your engineer is registered: http://www.gassaferegister.co.uk?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=prosecution-push
