Any work on a gas appliance in the UK has to be done by a Gas Safe registered engineer — it’s the law. Plumbstar is your local gas engineer in Maidstone, registration number 602922. From boiler installs and cooker changes to landlord safety certificates and suspected leaks, we do the work legally, safely and to the letter of the regs.

Suspected gas leak? Do this first
If you can smell gas: don’t switch anything electrical on or off, open the windows, turn the gas off at the meter (the lever quarter-turns to horizontal), and call the National Gas Emergency line on 0800 111 999. Once the network is on-site and safe, call us on 07404 190719 to find and fix the source.
Why hire a Gas Safe engineer over a general handyman
- Legal cover — DIY or unregistered gas work invalidates home insurance
- Certification — mortgage sales and lets need current gas paperwork
- Safety — carbon monoxide leaks kill; correct commissioning matters
- Manufacturer warranty — most warranties require a registered installer
We cover Maidstone town and the surrounding villages — Bearsted, Aylesford, Ditton, East Malling, Loose, Boughton Monchelsea, Barming, Allington, Larkfield and Leybourne. Most gas engineering jobs across ME, TN and CT postcodes are quoted the same week and scheduled within a few working days.
Common questions from Maidstone customers
Is a Gas Safe registered engineer the same as Corgi?
Gas Safe replaced Corgi in 2009. Any current, legal gas work in the UK must be done by a Gas Safe registered business — ours is 602922.
Can you disconnect and reconnect a gas cooker?
Yes — cooker swaps, hob installs and range disconnects are day-to-day work for us. Certificate issued on the day.
What paperwork will I get?
For servicing, a service report. For installs, a Gas Safe notification and a Benchmark log. For rentals, a CP12.
