Leeds plumber 'put pensioner's life at risk' by carrying out illegal gas work in her home
A Leeds plumber has been jailed for 16 months after carrying out illegal gas work that left an elderly woman 'at risk'.
Mr Shaw had been assisting the woman with general plumbing needs for a number of years and told her he fitted the water heater in her bathroom. As a result of this, the woman believed Mr Shaw was able to work on gas appliances. At the request of the woman, Mr Shaw removed an existing gas boiler and installed a new combination boiler at a total cost of £1157. An investigation by the Health and Safety Executive found Mr Shaw was not registered with the Gas Safety Register , a legal requirement whilst carrying out gas work.
Mr Shaw had previously been prohibited from carrying out gas work by HSE and had subsequently been investigated and prosecuted for similar illegal gas work. The investigation resulted in a custodial sentence in 2015.
