From the 1st April 2005 Corgi introduced its Complete Safety Initiative. A new scheme whereby the installation of any new or replacement heat producing gas appliance, for example fires, boilers & cookers in a residential dwelling must be notified to Corgi making your home a safer place & making it more difficult for bogus gas engineers to continue working.

Research shows that faulty gas appliances are responsible for a number of deaths & injuries that occur in the home. In order to reduce this risk Gas Work Notification has been introduced to increase safety standards. When a new or replacement installation has taken place, the Corgi engineer must notify Corgi that the work has been carried out. Corgi will issue the homeowner with a Declaration of Safety or Building Regulations Compliance Certificate, confirming that the work has been carried out by a competent Corgi registered installer & that the installer meets the requirements of the relevant Gas & /or Building Regulations.

Only Corgi registered installers such as Harpers Heating & plumbing are able to inform Corgi and thus enable the certificate to be issued. This certificate will form part of the Home information Pack that from January 2007 will be a requirement selling a home.
