HSE prosecutes Norfolk plumber for illegal gas work

A plumber from Norfolk has been prosecuted by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) for illegally carrying out gas work for a landlord in Norwich.
Gary Dunne-Bathurst from North Elmham installed a gas boiler without being registered with Gas Safe - a legal requirement for anyone undertaking gas work.

Norwich Magistrates' Court heard that Mr Bathurst carried out the work at a property on Dover Street in Norwich in 2011 despite not being a qualified gas engineer.

He was given a 12-month conditional discharge and ordered to pay £100 in costs after pleading guilty to a breach of the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 on 12 June 2013.
