Is he gas safe registered or whatever it is now called?

If not it is extremely illegal.

I could install it myself but am not planning to as it is ilegal as
far as I am aware.



Not actually correct.

You can still install a boiler .... just leave the gas connection to 'Gas
safe engineer' and he then connects and tests.
I did same in my place .... all it cost me was 200 cigarettes (I travel a
lot) for the guy to do connection, and issue safety certificate.

Lot cheaper than getting him to install boiler and all that goes with it.
