What is CORGI?
CORGI is recognised as the UK's gas safety watchdog. In order to ensure that consumers receive a professional and safe service, CORGI keeps a register of gas professionals who can carry out work safely and competently. You must always ask to see the CORGI ID card of any gas engineer that carries out work in your home.
