What should I ask a gas engineer before hiring them?

Before hiring a gas engineer, ask about their **experience, qualifications, and insurance coverage**. Ask about the timeline for your project, the estimated costs, and the payment structure. It's also wise to request references from previous clients and ensure they are familiar with the specific gas work required.

Are gas engineers required to have insurance?

Gas engineers are not legally required to have insurance, but it is highly recommended. **Most professional gas engineers will have public liability insurance to cover any damage to property or injury caused during work**. Always **ask for proof of insurance** before hiring a gas engineer.

Do gas engineers offer guarantees on their work?

Yes, gas engineers **typically offer a guarantee on their work**. This can range from a few months to several years, depending on the scope of the project. It’s essential to check the terms of the guarantee, which **should cover any defects or issues arising from poor workmanship**.

How can I verify a gas engineer’s qualifications?

You can verify a gas engineer’s qualifications by checking their Gas Safe registration. **Only Gas Safe engineers are legally allowed to carry out gas work in the UK**. Ask for their registration number and verify it on the Gas Safe Register website.

How much deposit should I pay a gas engineer?

It’s common to **pay a deposit of around 10% to 20% of the total project cost upfront**. However, this **should be agreed upon in writing before any work begins**. Be cautious of gas engineers who ask for large upfront payments, and make sure you have a clear contract in place to protect both parties.

Gas Work- 24 Mar 2022
Steve was fantastic, he came and quoted for the job and suggested a combi boiler instead of repairing the old unit (no other workman did this, yet it was the most economical and logical long term solution). He was easy to communicate with and efficient. He turned around the job in one day with an excellent result. The work was clean and tidy! We were so pleased. We will certainly be using him in the future and we would recommend his company to anybody else looking for a repair/replacement. Thank you Steve!

Gas Work- 7 Feb 2020
Mick was professional from beginning to end- responded promptly and was efficient in carrying out the job. We were due a boiler service, whilst carrying this Mick noted that a part had been incorrectly installed - he talked us through the concern and what could/should be done to correct it. He was even good enough to talk to this through with the original provider/installer which was incredibly helpful.100% recommend and will most definitely use again. Thank you Mick

Absolutely First class Job, Brilliant, discussed potential problems, and provided positive alternatives which were unforeseen and solved. First class service went the extra mile and ensured that the job was completed to our satisfaction. Highly recommended, no hesitation at all on recommending Aspect. Neil and his team have a very high standard of work. Well worth the disruption which they kept to the minimum. And all the rubbish was removed as well. Outstanding work to a difficult room location.

Bruci came and completed the simple sink adjustment efficiently and well priced. Whilst chatting i mentioned an issue I had experienced asking other plumbing and heating specialists with the possibility of converting my boiler from tank and cylinder to combi. Bruci came and did that job fantastically well, neat and tidy pipework, removal of all waste and great communication throughout. The guys were polite, efficient and very knowledgeable 10/10
