Gas Plumber in South Birmingham & Worcestershire
If you need a Gas Safe registered gas plumber in South Birmingham or along the Worcestershire corridor towards Kidderminster, Etchells Plumbing Services is a local firm set up for residential and commercial gas and heating work, including 24 hour emergency plumbing.
The registration number is 227442. You can confirm it on the official Gas Safe Register. That check is worth doing before any Gas Safe registered engineer works on a boiler or gas appliance in your home. Ask to see the engineer’s Gas Safe ID card — photo and expiry — on arrival.
What this page is for
People searching for a gas plumber, gas engineer or gas boiler plumber often know they need authorised gas work, but are not yet sure whether the job is a repair, a service, a replacement or a landlord certificate. This page is the overview. The dedicated service pages below carry the full detail — use them once you know the route, or call us if you want that sorted on the phone.
This is not a substitute for the boiler repairs page when the appliance has already failed. Go there for diagnosis of no heat, no hot water, lockouts and pressure faults.
Gas and heating work we carry out
- Gas boiler repairs — fault finding when heating or hot water fails
- Boiler servicing — planned annual checks on a working appliance
- Boiler installation and replacement — new and replacement boilers planned around the property
- Central heating installation — full systems when pipework and radiators need renewing
- Gas cooker installation — within our Gas Safe registration
- Landlord gas safety certificates (CP12) — Landlord Gas Safety Records for rented properties
- 24 hour emergency plumber — urgent heating and plumbing faults
How to choose the right next step
- Boiler dead or locking out → boiler repairs
- Boiler running but due a check → boiler servicing
- Boiler beyond sensible repair → boiler installation
- Whole system outdated or incomplete → central heating installation
- Rental gas safety due → landlord CP12
- New or replacement gas cooker → gas cooker installation
- Overnight loss of heat or a serious leak → emergency plumber
Water-side faults — taps, toilets, kitchen and bathroom leaks — sit on our plumbing repairs, kitchen plumbing and bathroom plumbing pages. Landlords and agents managing several addresses should also see property services.
Why Gas Safe registration matters
Only a Gas Safe registered engineer may carry out regulated gas work on boilers and gas appliances in the UK. Registration is not the same as a marketing badge: it is the legal framework for competence on gas. Read more on our Gas Safe registration page, and verify 227442 on the official register before work starts.
If you smell gas, leave the property and call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999 before contacting any engineer.

Common questions
I searched for a gas boiler plumber — is that the same as a Gas Safe engineer?
In practice you are looking for someone authorised to work on gas boilers and appliances. On this site we describe that work as gas boiler plumber services. Regulated gas work must still be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer — our registration number is 227442.
My boiler has no heat, no hot water, or both — where should I start?
Start with boiler repairs if the appliance has failed. If it is still running but due a check, use boiler servicing. If you already know it needs replacing, go to boiler installation. This page is the overview when you are not sure which route fits.
Do you only work on boilers, or other gas appliances too?
Boilers and heating are the core of the work. We also install gas cookers within our registration, and carry out landlord gas safety checks (CP12) for rented properties. Tell us the appliance and the fault when you get in touch.
How do I check your Gas Safe registration before letting anyone into the house?
Search the official Gas Safe Register using 227442, and ask to see the engineer’s Gas Safe ID card — photo and expiry — when they arrive. That is the right check before any gas work starts.
We are in Harborne / Selly Oak / Moseley / Bromsgrove — are we in area?
Those places sit in our regular corridor from South Birmingham into Worcestershire. Check the areas pages or call with your postcode if you are on the edge of coverage.
Can you help out of hours if the heating fails?
Yes. We provide 24 hour emergency plumbing for urgent faults. If you smell gas, leave the property and call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999 first.
Is a gas boiler plumber different from a general plumber?
General plumbing covers water-side faults such as taps, toilets and pipe leaks. A gas boiler plumber (Gas Safe engineer) is needed for boilers, gas cookers and other regulated gas work. Etchells does both — use the page that matches the fault.
