Default Re: DIY Gas Fitting

you can be prosecuted by HSE through the gas regs as opposed to the RIDDOR regs.
the gas regs say you must be competent to work for no money ie. your own home, i agree, if the job is done well youd be unlucky to be prosecuted as you can claim you are competent and they are unlikely to chance it going to court. if the job was dodgy but a dangrous occurance hasnt happened you could still be prosectued under gas regs, say, no ventilation, no sleeve, incorrect fle termination, speed fit joints etc etc
