@Bobby; If the subcontractors are replacing boilers etc then they need to be gas safe registered. However they may be covered by the companies unbrella policy.

The equivalent for electrics is the Part P registration or an NICEIC certificate (National Inspection Council for Electrical Installation Contractors. There is another one but I can’t remember who it is! If there is an issue contact the Health and Safety Executive.

Camden Council have employed a firm to upgrade bathrooms and kitchens.
Do all the workmen have to be Gas Safe qualified?

What is the equivalent for elecricity?

Some tenants have complained of very dangerous and careless workmanship, and some workmen can’t speak English.
Thanks

Sorry Lentayla – DSS comment not directed at you!!

Technically there should have been a new safety certificate issued when you moved in but as landlords we rely on the persons checking the equipment for safety.

Leaks do occur and I would have to say that in this case I would have to err on the side of the landlord that he was not made aware of the problem. He may have made sure the appliances were working but he may not have necessarily known about the leak. If the certificate was in date then it would have been upto you as the tenants to advise him or the utility company of a gas leak or a suspected one if your useage was so high.

Hope this helps

What job are you refering to? If an appliance then the safety certificate should be yearly!
