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- 13 Oct 2018
Mohammed came out at very short notice for this job. Basically an Npower engineer had capped the supply because of a supposed leak which meant the tenant in my property was left without gas overnight. Mohammed was very thorough in his investigation, identified that in actual fact there was no leak, and no repair work was required. Mohammed's approach throughout was excellent. Extremely professional in doing the work and very personable with both me and my tenant. I would have no hesitation in hiring him again, and would happily recommend him to anyone else.

Excellent work, can't recommend highly enough. AMR offers great value and service — turned up on time, got the work done without any problem, found another issue with my flue and was able to fix that for a good price too. More than willing and able to explain issues and investigate something that had gone through other tradespeople (a boiler engineer and gas emergency personnel) to diagnose what went wrong and reassure us we wouldn't run into other issues. Thank you!

Mr Harley came to my address as I had problems with my boiler and flow of water. As my boiler was over ten years old he advised me to changed it which I agreed to a more energy efficient boiler. He installed a Worcester Bosch system boiler with mega flow and eight radiators with thermostatic valves. He arrived on time as we agreed and workmen ship was up to high standards and completed on time and left the property tidy. Will be using Harley services again in the future for other work.

Bathroom Fitting- 24 Nov 2019
Amardeep was very professional and seems to be a really genuine guy! He came round on a Sunday to quote up for the work and gave a fair price then proceeded to order the bath and fit it within 5 days. Amardeep and his partner did a great job with the fitting and removal of the old bath and they even cleaned up after themselves. I work in the property industry and would have no hesitation to recommend Amardeep to clients in the future. We’re going to ask Amardeep to come and quote up for a larger project in the not to distant future!
