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

If not it is extremely illegal.

A common misconception. It is only illegal if you charge for gas work
when you are not qualified. If you are doing gas work for yourself - it
is perfectly legal.

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

See above. If you have the competence - then there isn't a problem. In
any case - you could install the boiler and all the plumbing - but then
get a qualified gas fitter simply to connect up the gas.


I've suiggested that to various gas engineers who also fit boilers etc over
the last few years and they will not touch a job where someone they don't
know has fitted the central heating system, tanks, and the boiler, leaving
just the gas connection too.....

Apparently its to do with who to blame if something does not work.....

and why waste time on a job for beer money when you can charge a few
grand for doing the whole lot...
