Clive Farrant, 57 used a false registration number in adverts and paperwork whilst trading as Essex Plumbing Connection.
The Health and Safety Executive found that he had carried out gas work in the Chelmsford Area between July 2006 and June 2009 and left them in a dangerous condition. He also instructed another unregistered gas fitter to carry out work in Hampshire, Chelmsford and Tadley. The HSE has warned all customers to check gas fitters are on the Gas Safe Register before
using them.
