Gas Safe Register has
launched a text message service allowing the public to check a business or engineer is Gas Safe registered using

through the Gas Safe Register ID card.
Consumers can check a business is registered by
texting Gas and the business registration number
to 85080. Consumers will receive a text back confirming whether the registration number is registered.
Alternatively consumers can check an engineer is registered by texting Gas and the
engineers seven digit licence number to 85080. Again consumers will receive a text message
confirming if the licence card number is registered.

photo of their engineer to be sent to their phone, providing an engineer has signed up to this service. Following
confirmation of an engineer’s registration the consumer will be offered the option to reply
with Photo and the engineers licence number to be sent the
