Recession-hit Brits could be putting their lives and homes at risk by carrying out dangerous DIY to save money, warns Gas Safe Register. New research has found that nearly 1 in 3 (31%) people would fit a gas appliance in the hope of saving as little as £60.

This is a concern for Plumbing on tap, three out of four people (75%) admit they would rather DIY than leave it to the professionals, but worryingly only 23% said they were any good at it. Plumbing on tap & Gas Safe Register advises that even if you think you are good at DIY, you should never work on gas. Only Gas Safe registered engineers can work on gas in your home – it’s the law and will keep you safe.

• Never DIY with gas appliances. Fitting a gas fire or cooker may look like a simple job but it’s not.
• Always use a Gas Safe registered engineer and check their Gas Safe ID card to make sure they are qualified to do the work you want them to do.
• Never block or cover air vents and flues. This could cause a build up of deadly gas fumes.
• Never attempt to remove back boilers and fires yourself. This could leave pipes and gas flues exposed.
• Don’t cover up gas pipes without treating them with wrapping tape or paint first as this could cause them to rot and leak gas.
• Know where your gas pipes are located so you don’t accidentally hammer or drill into them. Pipe detectors are available from most DIY shops.
• If you’re doing general building or having a shed, extension or conservatory built make sure your boiler’s flue isn’t blocked.
