Boiler Servicing in Guildford | The Importance of Using Gas Safe Professionals

When a service provider or tradesperson arrives at your door, it’s always reassuring to see some identification. When it comes to services like boiler repairs and servicing, central heating servicing or any other work related to gas appliances, this rings especially true. By law, only plumbers and gas engineers on the Gas Safe Register can undertake any type of work on boilers and gas appliances, due to their method of operation.

 

Whether carrying out work in Guildford or anywhere across the UK, anyone on the register, including the personnel at CSR Gas & Plumbing Services, carries the Gas Safe logo on their ID card.

 

But what exactly is the Gas Safe Register? And why is it important for those involved in plumbing and heating services to hold this certification?

 

THE GAS SAFE REGISTER | AN INTRODUCTION

 

In 2009, the former gas registration body CORGI became the Gas Safe Register. If you are familiar with CORGI, essentially, the Gas Safe Register is the same body under a different name. As the official record of all plumbers, gas engineers and trading companies qualified to work on gas appliances, the Gas Safe Register provides a complete list of every legal option for boiler servicing, boiler repairs and any related central heating servicing.

 

Quite simply, if someone isn’t on the list, the Gas Safe Register considers their work unsafe and even unlawful.

 

Safety remains the primary concern for professionals in this line of work. The Gas Safe Register protects homeowners in and around the Guildford area, as well as their properties, from sub-standard gas work.

 

Why is Gas Safe So Important?

 

When it comes to carrying out tasks such as central heating servicing, boiler servicing or boiler repairs, unsafe work can be fatal. Gas appliances like boilers produce carbon monoxide, which is a highly toxic but odourless gas. While gas leaks are not the most common occurrence, shoddy workmanship by unregistered plumbers or gas engineers can result in any number of minor faults which can eventually lead to a gas leak of carbon monoxide.

 

Fortunately, gas companies add a pungent sulphur smell to the gas they supply to homes throughout the UK, so that homeowners in places like Guildford can easily detect a gas leak.

 

If you ever notice the smell of rotten eggs coming from your boiler or other gas appliance, open all the windows in that room and contact a member of our team immediately on 01483 604 536 or 07754 408 712. We will be able to advise you further, until one of our dedicated professionals arrives to fix the problem.

 

As with all registered individuals, our plumbers and gas engineers undergo rigorous training and testing to guarantee the highest and safest standards, for your peace of mind. So, if you live in Guildford and you are looking for boiler servicing, boiler repairs or central heating servicing carried out to the highest standards of safety and workmanship, CSR Gas & Plumbing Services is the only company you need.

 

Gas Safe registration is not the same as holding a membership with a trade body. Certified plumbers and gas engineers do not pay a joining fee. Instead, they must demonstrate outstanding proficiency in line with the very strictest qualifying criteria.

 

You can rest assured that, as registered professionals, CSR Gas & Plumbing Services ensures all work we undertake complies with industry standards.
