Fault on boiler, help required

I think you only have to be certified if you're 'selling your trade', to other people. What you do with your property is of your own concern, as long as it doesn't effect anybody else.

He has not done anything with gas apart from switch the supply off and back on again, which people with gas fires do all the time, so whats the issue?

How do you know his Repairs are upto the job? He may have done a good job?

If his work inst up to it then he'll have a leak, but a water leak not a gas leak, All he's changed is the diaphragm that detects pressure change in the hot water system and turns the water heater unit on. It has nothing to do with gas at all.

If you are receiving payment you MUST be Gas Safe Registered, or the penalty can be a prison sentence. If you are NOT being rewarded in any way (e.g. DIY for yourself as in this case) then you need only be what the gas regs describe as 'competent'.

but as others have said that's a non-issue - he hasn't touched the gas side of things, only the plumbing.
