I think you will find thats wrong.
GS will find it illegal as you are registered through BG not as an individual. You are only GS registered when working for BG.
In the eyes of the HSE you are competant to work on gas.
So if a cash job goes tits up, you will probably end up jobless and get a huge bill because you dont have PLI. The HSE would have found you to be competant but as the job went tits up, they might change their minds on that.
As a BG fitter, what does it matter if we post help on here? The people searching on here for help arent BG customers, our customers mostly dont own computers they retired before computers were introduced.
5 years to learn how to tile
why 5 years?????
whats so funny
could it possibly be that there really is so much to learn and involved with tiling, different types of tile, differing natural stone, different cutting for different materials, different tecniques. different adhesives for different stone etc etc etc, come and do my bathroom for me, i will supply the tiles, you supply everything else and lets see what kind of job you make of it.
Dont forget i am 48 yrs old and started my apprenticeship in 1978. so that was 30 yrs ago.
Try finding some REAL time served tilesr and ask how long their apprenticeships lasted before taking the p*ss mate

not sure whats funny about this either. 5 year apprenticeship is certainly a long time to learn how to hang a tile. but to learn how to make a flawless finish time after time with various types of tile and differing customer requests is not to be sniffed at.
in my own profession anyone can run pipe and solder the stuff together. can they do it as quickly and neatly as me and do it by eye instead of measurement? probably not.

I have a private customer base as well. However, I pay tax, NI, accountancy, gassafe fees, seemingly endless overheads. I therefore have a problem with greedy BG fitters pinching our work. Unless you are registered individually OUTSIDE the BG operative status then you are breaking the law, and I think it's about time we started to grass on you.
By the way, I am an Ex BG gas service Engineer, from when we were trained to work in all aspects of the trade, not just "servicing" and over recommending Powerflushes for dubious reasons (often 500 of them!)
