CORGI Registration No' 8038

CORGI is the National Watchdog for Gas Safety in the United Kingdom. Their mission is to lead standards in safety, and play our part in creating a more certain world.

Utopia Fireplaces provides a specialist plumbing, heating, installation and repair service to both domestic and commercial customers.  We are registered members of CORGI gas installers.

CORGI Registration No' 8038.

Background to Corgi

In 1968, the 22-storey Ronan Point apartment block in Canning Town, London, was devastated by a massive gas blast that claimed five lives.

The tragedy led to a determination to protect the public from unsafe gas installations. CORGI was duly founded in 1970 as the Confederation for the Registration of Gas Installers, and was given the task of ensuring that gas work was carried out safely.

Initially, gas installers could become affiliated to CORGI on a voluntary basis. In 1991, however, the Health & Safety Executive (HSE) asked CORGI to maintain a register of competent gas installers in the UK. CORGI became the ‘Council for Registered Gas Installers’. CORGI’s responsibilities have now extended to include Northern Ireland and the Isle of Man and we are also working to improve gas safety in The Channel Isles.

Registration is now a legal requirement for businesses and self-employed people working on gas fittings or appliances. There are many benefits of being CORGI registered. Around 47,000 gas installation businesses employing approximately 98,000 gas fitting operatives are currently registered.

CORGI works to a tight remit prescribed by the HSE. As well as operating the register of competent gas installers, CORGI:

  • Investigates gas safety related complaints from the public

  • Provides members of the public with details of local registered installers

Over the last 30 years CORGI have become a leading authority in gas safety issues and of course, registration schemes.   Our expert knowledge is now being put to use outside of the CORGI registration scheme.

CORGI Registration No' 8038.
