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.

Central Heating- 10 Apr 2017
Carl was very efficient he came to look at the job and provide a quote within a reasonable amount of time. He replaced my old boiler for a new boiler with 7 year guarantee . He also moved the position of the boiler (at my request) moving all the wires and piping from a wall I hope to knock down in the future. He was polite, professional and nothing was a problem. After installing the boiler we had a slight issue with the radiators as they had an older type of valve. Carl came back out and new models to these at no extra cost. He has been a pleasure to work and I would recommend for similar jobs.

Can't recommend highly enough. Turned up early, answered my never ending list of questions, slotted me in at short notice, did the job well and cleaned up after themselves. They even went out of their way to put my kitchen cupboard back up around the new boiler when they'd finished. All that and a competitive price. Thank you Dean and Billy.

Gas Work- 14 Nov 2016
I am delighted with the job done by Dean Robertson, Aquaflow. A very clean and tidy job. He cleans up as he goes along and all pipe work and fittings are to an exceptional high standard. This man epitomises Value For Money and I cannot recommend him highly enough. His quote for a complete central heating system was both reasonable and affordable. The job was completed in time and within quotation.
