Do you need to be CORGI Registered?

[slganapat]

Do someone need to be CORGI registered for changing the motorised valve /the motor for the valve or adding or removing any of the hot water pipes...??? or even adding a new radiator.

Does that mean we can do any fo the plumbing work ..except for installing a boiler and servicing it..?

Corgi only covers gas work, so technically you can install the boiler as well providing a registered gas instaler disconnects the gas supply from the old boiler.. and connects it up to the new 1 again, then commissions it.


As apart from the gas you would only be connecting water pipes.

But i could be wrong so i stand corrected if i am.

It is generally accepted that you need an RGI (I wish everyone would stop using 'CORGI' as a generic term) to hang the boiler, fit the flue, connect the gas and commission it.

I seem to remember hearing that corgi had lost the contract to defra or somebody, so your comment about them would be especially true.

LOL @ DEFRA

Capita are taking over the registration of gas engineers. Also heard today that corgi are offering a voluntary register on top of capita so that RGIs can continue to use the corgi name. at a cost of course
