Just to remind landlords, as from 1 April 2009 CORGI ceased being responsible for administering gas safety requirements in the UK for let properties.  There has been little publicity regarding this fact but these important changes in the Gas Safety Legislation mean that from that date the Gas Safe Register takes over and any engineer planning to undertake work in Great Britain will need to be registered.

Gas certification undertaken up to that date by a CORGI registered engineer will remain valid however any future inspections must be carried out by someone registered with Gas Safe and the credentials of engineers verified.

The Health and Safety Executive reviewed the situation under CORGI and decided that there was a strong case for modernising the gas registration scheme to provide a clearer focus on gas safety.  For further information or additional clarification, please contact Simply Lets
