Any work involving gas, from installing a new boiler to fixing a leaky pipe, requires specialized knowledge and expertise. This is where Gas Safe engineers come in, and hiring them isn't just a recommendation, it's a necessity for your safety and peace of mind.
Why hire Gas Safe registered engineers?
While it may seem tempting to tackle minor gas-related issues yourself, the risks are simply not worth it. Gas leaks, explosions and carbon monoxide poisoning are all real possibilities when dealing with gas without proper training and qualifications. Even seemingly simple tasks like replacing a gas hose or lighting a pilot light can have disastrous consequences if done incorrectly so you should always leave gas work to a qualified professional.
