What are the legal risks for a landlord if a new boiler is fitted by someone who isn’t a Gas Safe Register engineer? For example, if the fitting was mostly done properly with the exception of some smaller errors as well as paperwork that is not properly filled in. This is not a situation where the boiler could cause a fire or an accident but just breaches of formal code and regulation.
If someone reported the landlord, would the authorities actually react and follow through with fines and/or prosecution? Or is it possible for the landlord to get away with blaming the company/engineer and claim that they were unaware of the fact that the engineer who did the job wasn’t certified?
