Gas Cooker Engineer in London
Picture a scene from a film: the criminal escapes in his car, he is pulled over by the policemen and asks the police officer for identification, proof to see if he really is a police officer. Although you may not be on an adventurous high speed chase the principal of showing identification must always be applied when hiring a gas cooker engineer to fit your gas cooker.
In these recent harsh economic times counterfeit goods and illegitimate services have flooded the market. The influx of illegitimate gas cooker engineers broadens the scope of choice and makes it much more difficult to select someone to carry out the installation.
So how can we differentiate between the unregistered ‘cowboy’ engineers and those who are qualified within their field? The answer is the Gas Safe Register identification card. Gas Safe Register is the official gas registration body for the United Kingdom, Isle of Man and Guernsey, appointed by the relevant Health and Safety Authority for each area. By law all gas cooker engineers must be on the Gas Safe Register. If you choose not to opt for a Gas Safe registered engineer you may very well be putting you and your family at risk of death and illness as a result of gas leaks and carbon monoxide poisoning.
Sometimes it’s good to take risks in life, but if you hire a cowboy engineer be aware that you may be risking your life. At Fitting a Cooker all our gas cooker engineers are accredited with the Gas Safety board. Our engineers are highly trained and continue to educate themselves when it comes to new technologies and techniques.
