Expert Guidance from Citywide Plumbers
As a landlord, homeowner, or business owner, knowing who can issue a Gas Safety Certificate is crucial to staying compliant and protecting lives. In the UK, the law is clear — only Gas Safe registered engineers can legally carry out the inspection and provide a valid Gas Safety Certificate (CP12).
At Citywide Plumbers, all our engineers are fully qualified and registered, ensuring you receive a legally recognised certificate every time.
What Is the Gas Safe Register?
The Gas Safe Register is the official list of gas engineers who are qualified to work safely and legally on gas appliances in the UK. Any engineer who is not on this register is not authorised by law to carry out gas work or issue certificates.
At Citywide Plumbers, we only employ Gas Safe registered professionals, each carrying a valid ID showing their registration number and qualifications.
Why Registration Matters
Allowing an unregistered person to work on your gas system is not just illegal — it’s dangerous. Improper installation or undetected faults can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning, explosions, or fires.
Our engineers follow strict safety protocols, conduct comprehensive checks, and deliver clear, concise Gas Safety Records, all in line with current regulations.
