You are NOT considered 'competent' to work on gas unless you are gas

Says who?

Do I have to use a Gas Safe registered engineer to complete gas work?


Anyone employed to work on gas appliances in domestic premises must be a
Gas Safe registered engineer link to external website and competent in
that area of gas work. The gas engineer's competencies are clearly
marked on the back of the engineer's Gas Safe Register ID card. If in
any doubt you can ring Gas Safe Register 0800 408 5500 or check their
website link to external website to see if the engineer is registered.

Note the word "employed".
