Gas Safe Register is the official gas registration body for the United Kingdom, Isle of Man, Guernsey and Jersey. It replaced CORGI registration and by law all gas engineers must be on the Gas Safe Register. Our role is to act as a licensing body.

In the UK all landlords must ensure the following in relation to gas safety in properties they rent out: Pipework, appliances and flues provided for tenants are maintained in a safe condition. Appliances and flues are checked for safety by a Gas Safe registered engineer annually. All gas appliances are maintained by a Gas Safe registered engineer (this can be accomplished by following the manufacturers recommended maintenance for their appliances/equipment) and all gas equipment (including any appliance left by a previous tenant) is safe or otherwise removed before re-letting. A documented record of safety checks, known as a Landlord Gas Safety Record, is made available to the tenant within 28 days of completing the check or to any new tenant before they move in. A copy of safety check documents is kept for a specified period. You can find further details on the responsibilities of landlords on the HSE's guidance to landlords and letting agents.
