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.

Andrew was great, arrived as agreed, and when the job turned out to be much bigger, removing a whole fireplace in order to find the gas and cap it, he did this no problem. He gave a reasonable price, and left things very neat. Much appreciated!

Gas Work- 26 Feb 2020
I hired john of JH heating because even though I considered the work I needed doing, which was removing an old floor mounted gas boiler, and replacing it with a wall mounted boiler in a different location to be an awkward job, he exuded a calmness and confidence about the work, reassuring me that it was a project he was happy to undertake. He suggested other things that needed doing that were linked to the boiler issue, such as a new central heating pump, hot water cylinder etc, and just gave me the impression it was all under control. After receiving the quote I agreed to hire john for the job, and when my old boiler failed he came and got it going again to help us out. When the job began, john and his team turned up early on the agreed day, and were straight at the job, barely stopping for a break, and by the end of the first day a new boiler had been installed and was up and running. On the second day john came to finish off, and sign off the new boiler, and when an unexpected issue occurred after he left, he returned and sorted the issue without hesitation. What I considered to be a complex job was quickly and professionally handled by john and his team, and I would be happy to recommend his work.

Was really impressed with Ronan. He came out at a time suited to me and his prices didnt differ for it being an early morning or evening appointment, and was definitely the best value. He has since done some more work for me and wont hesitate in asking him back for further jobs that need doing.
