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- 8 Jul 2018
I contacted Alban just over a month ago to have an estimate for a faily big job: changing an aging boiler and 5 ancient radiators. Unlike other plumbers that I have asked for a quote Alban took the time to have a good look at what was really required to do the job, such as where the new flue would come out of the external wall. It was a tricky job, as kitchen cabinets and existing pipes were in the way. This did not put him off - it did others - and Alban provided options. I got a quote within couple of days, with everything specified. Alban started the job on the agreed date and spend the next few days working on transforming my heating system. During that time I have found Alban to be extremely professional. Alban has spend a lot of time making a good job of the pipe work, not taking any shortcuts that would have been easier for him. The pipe work is tidy and looks really good. The job was done cleanly and in a timely fashion. The old boiler, radiators and old pipes where also collected off the property very quickly, so no mess was left behind. Alban showed up on time every day, has kept my house clean and tidied up every evening before he went. Alban even fixed an existing gas leak on some existing pipe work unrelated to the work he had done. I can only say that I am extremely pleased with the job that Alban has done. Everything is tidy and done to a really high standard. Having Alban do my heating system conversion was money very well spent indeed.

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!
