Etchells Plumbing Services is Gas Safe Registered. The registration number is 227442. Homeowners should check that number on the official register before any gas work begins.
In Great Britain, work on gas boilers, gas pipework and gas appliances is legally restricted. A Gas Safe registered engineer is the person authorised to carry out that work. Using an unregistered person for regulated gas work is unsafe and unlawful.
How to check an engineer
- Open the Gas Safe Register find-an-engineer page.
- Search using the business registration number 227442.
- Ask to see the engineer’s Gas Safe ID card on arrival and check the photo and expiry date.
You can also view the published business competencies listing on the register. This site does not restate individual appliance categories from that listing.
If you smell gas
A suspected gas leak is an emergency for the National Gas Emergency Service, not a routine plumber’s call-out.
- Do not smoke or use naked flames.
- Do not switch electrical fittings on or off.
- Open doors and windows if it is safe to do so.
- Turn the gas off at the meter if you can do so without going into a cellar.
- Leave the property and call National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999 .
That number is published by National Gas and the gas distribution networks. It is free to call. Once the situation is safe, you can contact a Gas Safe registered engineer about any follow-up work.
