When should you hire a gas engineer?
Call a gas engineer for a boiler service or breakdown, to fit or move a gas appliance, if you smell gas or suspect a leak, or when a landlord safety certificate is due. Gas work is safety-critical and must never be attempted by an unregistered person.
How to choose a gas engineer
By law, anyone working on gas must be on the Gas Safe Register. Before any work starts, always check the engineer’s Gas Safe ID card — front and back — and their registration number; this is non-negotiable for your safety. Gas engineers overlap with boiler engineers and plumbers, so choose one whose registration covers the specific appliance you need.
What affects the cost
Costs depend on the appliance and the work, so ask for a written quote. Main factors:
- Type of appliance and ease of access
- Parts required
- Whether it is a service, repair or new installation
- Emergency or out-of-hours callout
- Any pipework alterations needed
Frequently asked questions
How do I check a gas engineer is registered?
Ask to see their Gas Safe ID card and check the registration number on the Gas Safe Register. Never let unregistered tradespeople work on gas.
Is a boiler service the same as a gas safety check?
No. A service checks the boiler is running efficiently and safely; a gas safety check (CP12) is a legal inspection landlords need for rented homes.
What should I do if I smell gas?
Turn off the supply at the meter if safe, open windows, avoid switches and naked flames, leave the property and call the National Gas Emergency line on 0800 111 999.
