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- 4 Jan 2018
Superb and efficient. Quote very competitive. Manage to fit me in at an obviously busy time of year. Was running slightly late due to an emergency appointment of tracing a gas leak,however, i was informed of this as soon as he knew and was asked if it would still be alright to call or if I would like to rearrange. Whilst at my property he was very professional and got on with the job. Will definitely be using from now on every year

Central Heating- 2 Oct 2018
Mick and his son did an outstanding job, they were on time every day and as this job took several days they always left the place clean and tidy and most importantly in a usable state so we were not inconvenienced. The quality of the work is fantastic and I am extremely pleased with the final result. Their attention to detail is amazing. I will be using them again.

Gas Work- 7 May 2019
We were very pleased with the boiler replacement job completed by the B&R Heating team. Richard was very helpful when he did the site visit / estimate. He arrived when he said he would as did the estimate promptly afterwards. The work was scheduled for a single day and they were able to fit it in very quickly. The guys who did the work were great - really unobtrusive, minimised mess and cleaned up well afterwards. The work was completed as quoted and we had a follow up call from Natalie in the office a few days later to confirm all was well. Good job at a competitive price. Thank you to everyone involved.

I wholly recommend Paige/OwlFix It enough for his work. To begin, he came over to inspect the work before giving a very reasonable quote, he was very informative, knowledgable and kept us in the loop at every stage in the process. Paige was incredibly professional and friendly and got the work done in only a couple of days. I especially appreciated his meticulous attention to detail, he wanted to do everything just right and he did. Everything looks and works great and left the house in an immaculate condition. Paige was attentive to all our concerned, amazing communication skills and made himself reachable at every point - day or night. He went above and beyond when he was required to do extra work to ensure we didn't run into problems in the future, which he did gracefully and to an incredibly high standard. All in all, I am very very happy to have such a hard-working person complete what turned out to be quite a difficult work, I would recommend Paige in a heartbeat! Thanks for all your help!

Gas Work- 5 Feb 2015
Luke arrived on time on short notice, observed what needed to be done, and stayed to carry out the work on the agreed price. He was explaining my options beforehand, left the place clean and tidy, and answered any doubts and questions I had. I was very pleased with his work. then why the negative feedback? I paid in cash when the work was completed and was promised an invoice/worksheet later in the day via email - he put down my email address on the spot. no receipt was received, so I texted him the day after. another promise, still nothing. one week later, sent another message via mybuilder. another promise made again, still no receipt received. at this point, I got fed up with the empty promises. lesson learned: pay for the work only if you already seen the invoice!
