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.

Plumbing- 14 Sep 2018
I was always told to hire people on these sites with lots of excellent reviews in the very high nineties. Good advice on the face of it. That said, how can anyone build themselves up if you don't give them a go! I'm glad I took a chance, because Lee is everything you could hope for in a tradesmen. Competitively priced, punctual, professional, polite, friendly, clean and tidy and at the end of all that? A professional plumbing job carried out in a timely manner with proper soldered plumbing joints (no compression fittings!) and most important of all - no leaks! Working here was not straightforward as I have 6 children and indoor pedigree cats and a new puppy! Lee made sure doors were not left open and was very respectful of our home. I will be hiring Lee again for other bits and pieces if he doesn't end up being booked up for months as all the best ones seem to be! I personally could not recommend him more highly and my background pre children, was property so I've seen a fair bit!

We stumbled across Rhys on My Builder, and from day one of meeting Rhys from Stride Plumbing and heating, it was apparent that Rhys and his team were dedicated in their work. Not only did they provide an amazing service and explained everything thoroughly we feel we received the highest quality of workmanship. Rhys was always there going above and beyond to ensure that the job of installing a brand new heating system in our home went smoothly. Every question answered and even the silly ones! Always arrived on time and always ensuring they cleaned up as they went along. We are over the moon Rhys with your quality of work, we would defiantly recommend Rhys and his team and will be using them again in the new year when we start another project. A big thank you from us again.

Gas Work- 2 Mar 2021
Cameron is professional, trust worthy and well informed. He came to look at our faulty boiler (4 years old), diagnosed the fault and recommended we went back to the original installer as it was a fault created by them, and therefore shouldn’t be fixed at our expense. He could have carried out the work and charged us! We will be using Cameron for all future work. Highly recommend.
