CORGI was the old gas safety registration body in the UK, replaced by the Gas Safe Register in 2009. Any engineer still claiming to be CORGI registered is either out of date or misleading you. The Gas Safe Register is now the only legally recognised body for gas work in the UK. Always check the Gas Safe Register website to verify your engineer's credentials.

If you smell gas, do not touch any electrical switches, do not light any flames, and open all windows and doors immediately. Turn off the gas supply at the meter using the emergency control valve — turn the handle so it sits across the pipe. Leave the property and call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999 from outside. Do not re-enter until given the all-clear.

Warning signs include a yellow or orange boiler flame instead of blue, dark staining around the boiler, increased condensation on windows, and a pilot light that frequently goes out. Symptoms of carbon monoxide exposure include headaches, dizziness, nausea and confusion. If you suspect a carbon monoxide leak, open windows, leave the property immediately and call the Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999. Fit a CO alarm near your boiler — they cost under £20 and save lives.

A new combi boiler installation in Barton-upon-Humber generally costs between £2,500 and £4,500, including the boiler unit and fitting. The final price depends on the boiler brand, the complexity of the installation, and whether any pipework modifications are needed. If you are switching from a conventional system to a combi, expect additional costs of £500 to £1,000 for removing the old tanks and cylinders.

Yes — it is a legal requirement for anyone working on gas boilers, gas fires, or gas cookers in the UK to be on the Gas Safe Register. It is a criminal offence to carry out gas work without registration, and unqualified work is extremely dangerous. Always ask your engineer for their Gas Safe ID card and verify it at GasSafeRegister.co.uk before allowing any work to begin.
