I feel for that lady who lost her daughter.
But otherwise, nothing new.
Its an on going cowboy problem, but while it costs £3500 just to get registered you are always going to get the same old problems.
If safety is the prime concern then bring training prices down:
Lets be honest this sort of program has been a regular item for years now and its not stopped anybody.
Bring course prices down to manageable levels and allow DIYers in their own home to get their work tested for a reasonable fee off GaSAfe and we might start getting somewhere.
But while a full domestic acs card costs about £3000 for about a fortnights testing every five years and GaSAfe membership if you include compulsory insurance another £500. A university student can pay less than £3000 for a years tuition, and come out a lawyer or doctor, then probably earn more in pocket money than a Plumber gas fitter earns in wages.
Somethings unfair.
Keep the registration for working for money, but bring course fees right down to about £200 all in.
Make it easy for DIYers in their own homes to get their work tested for a reasonable fee by GaSafe.
I would like a few of those television reports to investigate course prices and what the government is doing about them.
Lets make it fair and stop the cowboys, not dearer and perhaps make more cowboys.
