- Full description of the work to be carried out
- Specific boiler make, model, and output where applicable
- All materials to be supplied, including parts, filters, and controls
- Labour costs stated separately from materials

Verifying Your Heating Engineer's Credentials
You can verify any engineer's Gas Safe registration online at GasSafeRegister.co.uk by entering their name, company name, or Gas Safe licence number. You can also call the Gas Safe Register on 0800 408 5500. Always check before allowing any gas work to proceed.
The Gas Safe ID card displays the engineer's name, photo, licence number, and expiry date. Crucially, the reverse of the card lists the specific categories of gas work the engineer is assessed as competent to carry out, for example, domestic natural gas boilers, gas fires, or LPG appliances. Check that the work you require falls within those listed categories.
Only if they hold a valid Gas Safe registration that covers the type of work involved. Gas Safe registration is required for all gas work regardless of the relationship between the engineer and the property owner. An unregistered person carrying out gas work is committing a criminal offence, and any work they carry out is illegal and may invalidate your home insurance.
OFTEC (Oil Firing Technical Association) registration applies to engineers working on oil-fired heating systems. Properties not connected to the gas network, particularly in rural parts of Scotland, may use oil boilers, and work on these systems should be carried out by an OFTEC-registered engineer. OFTEC registration allows engineers to self-certify oil boiler installations under Building Regulations.
Using an unregistered person for gas work is illegal and potentially life-threatening. The consequences can include carbon monoxide poisoning, fire, or explosion. Practically, you may also find that your home insurance is invalidated, your boiler warranty is voided, and you face difficulties when selling your property if compliant documentation cannot be produced. Always insist on Gas Safe registration.
