Around 7 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.

Highlights
“James installed our heat pump a few months ago, along with new radiators throughout the house, and the whole experience was faultless. He was supported by Dean the electrician and Mark the plumber, who both also did an amazing job. A genuinely professional and well-coordinated team. The standard of workmanship was outstanding, and it was a genuine pleasure having them in our home. Everything was done with care, consideration and attention to detail. Since the installation, the heat pump has been excellent, reliably heating our hot water and keeping the house toasty. We couldn’t be happier!”
“So nice to find someone you can rely on. Annual boiler service completed by James. Have engaged him many years now. Professional, friendly, helpful and tidy. Really appreciated him looking at a couple of radiators which weren't working properly. Fully recommend.”

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 RegisterBy 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.
