About
About this guide
Liverpool Gas Engineer Guide explains how to check a gas engineer and what the gas safety rules require of households and landlords in Liverpool. It's named after the search people make; it isn't a gas business.
Short answer
An independent guide published by SEO-DONS LTD. It doesn't do gas work, isn't on the Gas Safe Register and isn't connected to HSE, the Gas Safe Register or any engineer. It recommends no firms and doesn't pass your details to anyone.

We publish independent guides on home energy and heating. Messages sent through this site come to us and we reply by email; we don't phone, and we don't hand your details to an engineer or anyone else.
Why it exists
Most pages about gas engineers in Liverpool are adverts for engineers. The rules that protect households and tenants are published by HSE and in the regulations, but they're scattered and written for professionals. This guide puts them in one place, in plain English, with the source for each point.
Our rules
What we will and won't do
- We don't do gas work, and we never imply that we do.
- We don't recommend, rank or rate engineers or firms.
- We don't use the Gas Safe Register's logo or claim any registration.
- We describe safety rules from HSE, the regulations and GOV.UK, and link to them.
- We print the gas emergency number as text on every page and don't run a phone line of our own.
- There's no obligation in asking us a question.
Sources
Where the facts come from
Gas safety facts come from HSE's guidance and frequently asked questions and from the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998; carbon monoxide alarm rules from GOV.UK's guidance; Liverpool figures from the Census 2021 via Nomis; funding and VAT from GOV.UK and HMRC. Each page lists its sources with the date we read them. The full list is on the sources page. If something is wrong or out of date, tell us.
Checks we point to
How to judge who you use
We can't vouch for anyone. When readers ask how to choose, we point to the checks that exist: Gas Safe registration on the register itself, the categories of work on the engineer's ID card, a written record of what was done, and, for heat pumps, MCS certification. For a new boiler, ask whether the workmanship warranty is insurance-backed and whether the firm is TrustMark registered for the trade, and read any review on an independent site with care. If a dispute arises, Citizens Advice can explain your rights. Small print: see the privacy notice and terms of use.
