Highlights
"We had a problem with our toilet drain that was making life in our new home less than ideal. John arrived - complete with mini-camera and laptop but also some great, old-fashioned chat - and solved our problem. Rather than having to remove the toilet and smash tiles etc, he worked out what another firm had accidentally done (broken our air valve) and found a creative solution. Very happy."
"A GREAT GUY, GREAT COMMUNICATIONS, STRAIGHT FORWARD, FAST, VERY GOOD WORKMANSHIP. WOULD USE AGAIN 100%"
"a difficult job carried our in unfavorable conditions, no short cuts and a professional job successfully finished. Will certainly use again and will recommend unreservedly."

Gas work is restricted by law to Gas Safe registered engineers. If they'll touch a boiler or any gas appliance, confirm they're currently on the register before you hire - it's free and takes a minute.

Smart checks
Before you hire a gas engineer
By law, anyone working on your gas appliances must be on the Gas Safe Register — ask to see their Gas Safe ID card and check the licence number at gassaferegister.co.uk before they start.
Never let an unregistered person touch your gas: unsafe gas work risks carbon monoxide poisoning, fire and explosion, and is a criminal offence.
For a boiler or appliance install, get the work and price in writing and keep the Gas Safe / Building Regulations certificate they are required to give you.
Confirm they cover your area and can actually come out in your timeframe before anything else.
Read recent reviews for reliability and turning up on time — not only the quality of the work.
