Anyone can print a business card. Only a Gas Safe registered engineer can legally work on your gas appliances — and verifying that takes about a minute.
Check the registration first
Ask for the Gas Safe ID card and check the licence number on the official register. The card shows which categories of work the engineer is qualified for — boilers, cookers, LPG and so on — so make sure the job you are booking is on it.

- Is the system clean or power flush included?
- Is a magnetic filter fitted?
- Which boiler model exactly, and what warranty length?
- Is Gas Safe notification and Building Standards paperwork included?
- Are controls upgraded or reused?
- Is making good after pipework included?
Red flags
Cash-only pricing with no written quote, pressure to decide today, no fixed address or landline, reluctance to show the Gas Safe card, and quotes that are dramatically cheaper than everyone else's with no explanation.
