    Ok, but next question is was it a straight swap or a new installation?

    how can I prove the installer was gas safe registered if I don't have a certificate? Surely if I sold my house, then my buyers solicitor would require a document or registration on some database to prove the installation was done correctly\safely?

    This applies to gas boilers. I got a cert for my gas boiler in my last house, but not for the gas hob which did not require a cert.

    However, only a GasSafe qualified engineer is allowed to fit either a gas boiler or hob.

    A GSR is required to do the work - a certificate/notification is not needed on a hob.

    Regs on electrical work in kitchens have relaxed recently, so again, if he wasn't putting in new circuits it unlikely that 'sign off' is needed for adding a switch to an outlet - but I am willing to be shouted down on this by those who do know better....
