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.

Pete did a fantastic job removing a couple of radiators plus pipes and installing a new radiator at a different place with new pipes. You could tell that Pete takes pride in his work and provides a high level of quality. He explained all what he was doing and was always checking how we wanted things. So there were no surprises as there are at times with other workman. Pete was very responsive, right on time, cleaned everything up afterwards, even hovered afterwards. Last but not least Pete was very friendly, jolly and the entire process was very pleasant. We can highly recommend Pete and VEPO and will definitely use him again.

John carried out a total removal of previous heating system and installation of new heating system including radiators, boiler and pipe work. John completed the work to a timescale, his fee was competitive, his demeanour was friendly and professional and his service was of a high quality. John completed a lot of the work whilst the house was empty. Not only is John professional, he is reliable, likeable and trustworthy. He even came around in his own time to talk us through the system. I would definitely use him again.

Marco was incredibly helpful: he was available at short notice and as I was out of the country he was happy to provide advice over the phone about the pictures of the leak until I was able to arrange an appointment. In the end, that advice led to the neighbour actually responsible for the leak sorting it at their end without having to call out Marco and he was very gracious about the late cancellation. I will definitely be hiring Marco again if I have another issue.

Gas Work- 6 Jun 2016
Excellent service by a friendly, professional and helpful person. Pete did a boiler service and gas safety inspection for me, but also check all the radiators and taps at the property without being asked. He also took time to explain to the tenant the most best way to set the temperature using the boiler and room thermometer and checked the tenant had no other issues. Pete has since done a second job for me. I could not be there but the tenants are very happy with the work he did - annoyed tenants were turned into very happy tenants quickly, which make the landlord very happy. His number is definately saved for future use!
