Missing evidence lowers the score because we can't check it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Claiming a profile never changes the score. Evidence context, not a guarantee of workmanship.

Highlights
“Arrived promptly, knew exactly what the problem was and fixed it within 10 mins. The explaination of the reason for the fault was clear and concise”
“Excellent service. Came around the same day I phoned.”
“Work completed efficiently. Three hours maximum. Had interior mechanism of one cistern fail and result in astronomic water bill. Had all three replaced. Parts and labour some £150. A worthwhile exercise as the increase in water rates for one failure was larger than the cost of fixing all three”

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.
Check the Gas Safe RegisterConfirm 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.
Agree the call-out fee up front, and be wary of large upfront deposits for an emergency job.
