Plumber of the Year 2022, Jimmy Hendry, joins the UK Construction Podcast for a candid conversation on the realities of gas safety in the UK.
Hosted by Jimmy Webb, the episode draws on over 30 years of hands-on experience in plumbing and gas engineering to explore why serious safety risks continue to exist despite strict regulations.
This episode looks at how gas safety is applied in the real world, not just on paper.
In this episode, we cover:
- Why gas safety laws and enforcement are failing homeowners and tenants
- How unqualified gas work continues despite the Gas Safe Register
- The dangers of cheap boiler servicing and what a proper service involves
- Why boilers can still be bought and installed without proper checks
- The gap between gas safety regulations and everyday practice
- What happens when plumbers challenge safety failures publicly
Gas safety is not just a compliance issue. It is a public safety issue.
This conversation is essential viewing for plumbers, gas engineers, landlords, construction professionals, and homeowners who want to understand the real risks behind boiler installations and servicing in the UK.
