The story of gas-elec group

The foundations of gas-elec group were laid in 1996 with the launch of gas-elec Safety Systems, which pioneered the provision of combined gas and electrical safety inspection services in the U.K. One engineer, in one visit, carries out two or more gas and electrical safety inspections and provides one report or certificate. Clients can depend on the impartiality of gas-elec, as the company offers only minor remedial work such as boiler servicing.

Now the leader in its field, gas-elec started out within the residential lettings sector, piloting combined gas and electrical safety inspections at a time when the sector considered - erroneously - that only gas inspections were legislated for. It was John Davidson's visionary realisation that the gas and electrical safety regulations of the 1990s had created an opportunity for a new service for the lettings market, in the form of combined inspections by one multi-skilled engineer. The company has since expanded into the homeowner, buyer and seller sectors and now operates in a £2 billion market.

gas-elec Company Overview

gas-elec offers a trusted and reliable inspection service delivered by regionally located safety inspectors, uniquely qualified to carry out a combination of gas and electrical safety inspections. It does this through a sophisticated nationwide franchise network, comprising 18 regional offices and 130 franchisees across the UK.

Committed to the highest safety standards, gas-elec's roots go back to the mid-1990s and a Silver Award winning City & Guilds electrical and safety training company. With its own CITB and City & Guilds approved training and assessment centre, gas-elec utilises its significant training experience to ensure its safety inspection engineers are at the forefront of gas and electrical safety issues. In addition, gas-elec supports its engineers by auditing them in the field up to four times a year.

gas-elec has continued to identify important markets for gas and electrical safety inspections, creating tailored offerings for its markets, supported by a bespoke IT system which enables clients to book appointments and view reports online.

gas-elec is an ISO 9001 registered company, with Gas Safe Register and NICEIC accreditations. The company is registered with ELECSA as a competent firm under Part P of the building regulations, which was introduced in England & Wales in January 2005 to govern electrical safety in the home.
