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- 30 Apr 2019
Used Jordan to remove an old Boiler, remove all old pipe work and tank and then fit new combi boiler. He priced the job competitively and turned up on time and completed the job ahead of schedule. The boiler and new thermostat have been installed for an extended period of time and ive had no issues whatsoever. He cleaned up after himself and I would recommend. The only negative was that it took him some time to give me the required gas safe and warranty certificates but this was due to illness but his communication during this period could have been better. Despite this one negative I would use him again and would recommend others to do so.

Gas Work- 7 Nov 2022
It was a boiler service job and Darshan was the first to respond to the job and had quoted a price for the service . Even though there were no reviews, I saw that he had only joined site recently so we agreed on Monday for him to come round and do the service. He came as arranged on Monday with his partner Ajay. They were quick and efficient and did the job professionally with a smile. Thank you
