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- 21 Nov 2025
Connor has been an absolute diamond and has completed 2 repairs to my boiler. He has communicated regularly to update me when ordering the parts required. Works completed promptly when the parts arrived. I found Connor polite, trustworthy and genuine. He charged a very fair price and I have to say he is one of the most honest traders that I have used from my builder. Very friendly and professional but as I said he really does know what he is doing. Would highly recommend and I will be keeping his details in case I ever need his help again. Thank you so much Connor

Bathroom Fitting- 21 May 2022
Dan is very likeable young man, he works hard and goes the whole nine yards to get the job done. His work is neat and tidy. Our job was very awkward as it was mixing Victorian plumbing measurements with today’s measurements, what he lacked in experience he more than made up in enthusiasm. He also replaced a dodgy washing machine waste water pipe that led to the stack pipe, it had been leaking for a long time. The only criticism I have I’m afraid is that the pipe leaked after he had replaced a few connections. I have texted him twice with no reply, I think after care is very important,I hope he learns from this slightly negative review. On the whole a very pleasant trustworthy tradesman who is still learning.
