I'm doing a kitchen make-over with a v good professional bloke in my son's flat.
When we removed the old units we see that the gas pipe runs where we don't want it to go in the new design so the gas pipes will need re-routing.
My man, a very competent and honest plumber says, "I'm not CORGI registered, so we'd better get help".
By co-incidence, across the landing another flat-owner is having plumbing done. I ask and the fitter says, "Oh, yes we're CORGI, so we can do it". Then he adds, "Do you want me to do it for cash or go through the office". I explain that I need it to be done by a "CORGI-Person" i.e. properly.
He replies, "Either way it will be me doing it".
Are you personally CORGI regd? "No, but the company is", was his reply.
******** SO: Is CORGI a personal thing or a company thing?If it's personal and the company is using non-registered chaps should I let him do the work, not pay and shop him to CORGI?
Howver, I'm pretty sure that the chap from the Co. knows what he's doing but then so does our man but he's honest.
PS. The CORGI firm is charging twice what my honest guy is! Comments please,
