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'.

Christopher Roland Shaw, also known as Chris Parker and trading as SOS Express Plumbing, attended the woman’s home on Newport Road, Headingley, Leeds, in October 2019. While at the 81-year-old's home, he was hired to carry out gas work.

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.
