thought competent people could install gas too?


If you are paid to do it, then you have to be CORGI registered. If
you do it yourself, or someone does it for free, then you/they have
to be competent.

If you do it FOR YOURSELF you need to be competant, but do not need to be
CORGI registered, if you do it 'for free' for someone else it is my
understanding that you are deemed to be working for reward - if your mate
buys you a pint for your trouble that's a reward... so you need to be
CORGI
registered.

Not forgetting the case where, like my mates, the kitchen extension builders
fitted all the cooker gas pipes back to meter cupboard, BUT the system was
tested and commisioned by a Corgi registered fitter.
