Understanding the issue
Handyperson work can cover many non-regulated everyday tasks such as fitting shelves, adjusting doors, mounting items, replacing simple hardware and completing minor repairs.
What to check
The exact scope depends on the job, access, materials and whether specialist trade qualifications are required.
When to get advice
Gas work and certain electrical or other regulated work should be routed to appropriately qualified trades rather than treated as general handyperson work.
This is general information, not a substitute for inspecting your property. Do not work on gas equipment or live electrical parts unless appropriately qualified. If there is immediate danger, call 999. If you smell gas or suspect a gas escape, leave the affected area and call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999 from a safe location. Do not operate electrical switches or use naked flames.
