Registered Tradesman
At JobSorted we work with the leading Government approved industry bodies who keep up to date registers of tradesmen qualified to carry out work to the latest standards set out under Building Regulations. If a tradesman carries the Registered Tradesman logo on JobSorted.com you can be sure they are who they say they are and competent to carry out the work.
Moreover if you have a complaint about the standard of their work you will have an official body to contact who has the power to deal with such complaints. Specific standards apply for the various types of work your tradesman carries out, which are summarised on this page.
We’ve just launched the Registered Gas Installer Scheme and are validating tradesmen’s membership directly with the Gas Safe Register. Other Registered Professional Schemes are coming soon.
Registered gas installer
We validate membership of the Gas Safe Register for all tradesmen claiming to carry out gas work. To be sure that your tradesman is qualified for your job, please follow the link from their tradesman's profile to the Gas Safe Register website to check their membership is up to date and to see the work they are registered to do. Before allowing a tradesman to start work in your home, also check his ID card.
The Gas Safe Register, the only official list of gas engineers who are legally allowed to work on your gas boiler, gas cooker and gas fire. By law, all gas engineers must be on the Gas Safe Register, it replaced CORGI.
If you rent your home your landlord must keep gas appliances supplied for you to use in good condition. They should arrange a gas safety check every 12 months and give you a record of the check.
