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- 28 Feb 2019
Peter and his colleague provided an excellent service. Came on time, throughly investigated and checked for potential leak(s) on internal pipes connecting to the boiler. Excellent communication through out the job as am not technically minded with regards to pipes connecting to the boiler and tests that Peter had to carry out to determine if there is any leaks. We have a boiler cover and explained this to Peter (we did not need any work done on the boiler). Peter understood this and on completion of the tests, Peter had gone extra mile by providing us a report of work carried out, his recommendation (as the issue appears to be with the boiler and not with the pipes connecting to the boiler) so that we can provide the report to our boiler engineer should the pressure of the boiler continue to drop. Highly recommended.

Gas Work- 28 Jun 2017
Andy gave a great impression when he came to quote, clearly knowing a lot about his profession and suggesting good ideas that we hadn't thought of, for how to resolve various issues. He stripped out an old back-boiler, fitted a new boiler, complete set of new radiators and completely new plumbing, all for a very reasonable price. He did the work whilst we were on holiday and everything worked perfectly on our return and we're really happy with our new central heating.
