Hi all, being gas registered through a company, can we do gas work ie: a boiler change for family?

I think this is a very good question. I think it comes down to the fact that you wouldnt get somebody to do 300 boilers for free without being employed. secondly, the installation of boilers requires benchmarks and registration which would need gas safe registration. This does not however change the fact that gas work can be done for no charge (ie not employed in the regs) and it does not break the regs. We are talking more of one off jobs or moving pipes around or similar. I am gas safe registered through my company but would have no hesitation at all in moving a gas pipe for my Mother since i am allowed tothink you have it wrong fuzzy ,what if your family owned 300 flats,and you were asked to fit boilers in each one,i,m sure
you could,nt get away with it.the manufacturers state in the mi it must be installed by a gassafe reg installer,and commissioned by one.
Like I said before look at definitions in section 2.1 where work is defined and there is no mention of financial reward just what work is and that is touching.working on gas appliances etc and you are not allowed to do so unless deemed competant and you arent competant in the eyes of the law unless you are registered as gas safe yourself or working for an employer at the time who is. So as you so ,no hard feelings but your a 100% wrong and it will catch up with you one day
another gas reg thats not so clear why dont they make the regs in plain eassy to understand english . I would agree in the fact if you are not gas safe registered how can your work be checked and registered the idea of being gas safe registered is to proove your compitent in the work place as they can check up any of your work at anytime .if its not registered it can be checked.just my view.come on gas safe make the regs easier to read.

if you did gas work for a charity for no charge ,then according to your thinking fuzzy you dont need to be gsr,
i cant see it
i can see what you are saying whats stopping engineers doing forigners at the wk end and classing it as no financial gain if there is no paper trail.

so why do the hse keep taking people to court who have previously passed their acs and been corgi/gas safe registered and prosecuted them for illegal works, it must be because they arent competant in the eyes of the law, simple really and therefore fuzz your understanding of the regs cannt be quite right can it!!
I doubt it ;-)Will you now accept i was right?
I doubt it ;-)
tamz explained it beautifully, and not trying to be a wise bum, dont forget to get insurnance cover if your working for friends and family for free, just in case it goes wrong through no fault of your doing and you need backup. Remember though that you wont get cover if you dont register with gas safe. It would seem the insurers work under different rules to HSE, slippery sods
What a long thread: If you are employed to do gas work you have to be registered. If you do it for yourself or clearly for a friend or relative as a favour for no financial gain, you don't. In any event you have to be competent to carry out gas work. This is to comply with Gas regs. Additionally; boilers are covered under building regulations (Part L energy efficiency). If you fit a boiler you are required to register this work through building control. If you are registered with a competent person scheme (which includes Gas Safe Register, CORGI, APHCA) you can notify the works through the approved scheme. In any event Manufacturer's will need to be satisfied the appliance has been installed correctly and the benchmark book has been completed.
rightmaybe in what you feel, but maybe not in the eyes of a judge, I wouldnt want to be the one testing your interpretation of the regs/law, but rather sad going on about it, didnt they let you join the playgroung football team in the past. time to agree to disagree this one and let everyone go their own way now isnt it
