Hi, I hope someone who is Gas Safe Registered can answer me this question or two please?
I had a boiler engineer round today, my boiler's pilot was out and wouldn't re-light.
He changed the Thermocouple and all was well.
Now I know a little about gas and the regulations, etc, but obviously am not a gas engineer. Anyhow I was just wanting to make sure he did everything safely as he was very quick. I want to sleep easy and put my mind at rest
Basically, I always thought that after any work on a gas appliance/fitti ng/installation, the engineer had to check the flue / ventilation / operating pressure or gas rate of the appliance or both, and that overall was in safe operation.
I also thought that a Soundess/Tightness test had to be carried out at the gas meter before working on a gas installation.
Is this correct or am I just worrying about nothing, as the engineer who fixed my boiler didn't do these.
Thanks for your kind help
Regards
Steven
