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.

Sam from SRC was extremely helpful and courteous. Despite me having to cancel two earlier appointments due unavailability he was not put off and attended on the third request. He provided a cost for the service beforehand, attended on time and completed the work competently and politely.I would recommend him without hesitation.

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!

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
