Illustration for Plumbers, Gasfitters, and Drainlayers Act 2006

You can renew your employer licence if it has not been cancelled. You do this by sending an application to the Registrar. The application must be in the right form and have the required information and fee. You send your application to the Registrar, who then gives it to the Board to consider. The Board can renew your licence for up to five years if they think it is a good idea. They will only renew your licence if you meet all the requirements. If you apply to renew your licence before it expires, but the Board has not made a decision yet, your licence stays valid until they make a decision. In this case, the renewal will start from the date your old licence would have expired, as stated in the legislation.

Employer licences in respect of gasfitting

65Renewal of employer licence

  1. Every employer licence, unless it has been cancelled, may from time to time be renewed in accordance with this section.

  2. An application for the renewal of an employer licence must—

  3. be sent or delivered to the Registrar; and
    1. be in the form required by the Board; and
      1. contain, or be accompanied by, the information and documentation required by the Board; and
        1. be accompanied by the prescribed fee (if any).

          1. The Registrar must refer any application received by the Registrar under subsection (2) to the Board for consideration under this section.

          2. On receiving an application under subsection (3), the Board may renew the employer licence to which the application relates for the period (not exceeding 5 years) that the Board thinks fit.

          3. However, the Board must not renew an employer licence unless the Board is satisfied that the applicant meets all the requirements for the issue of an employer licence.

          4. If an application for the renewal of an employer licence has been made but not dealt with before the licence expires, the licence continues in force until the application is dealt with by the Board, and any renewal in that case must take effect from the date on which the licence would (but for the renewal) have expired.
