    Did he offer any other payment means? That means only would have had my early warning radar doing overtime!

    Did you get an invoice showing the amount due?
  • Sounds like a cowboy. ALWAYS check their Gas safe registration card. It has a photo on it and also always check the back of the card as it states specifically what the fitter is qualified to work on.

    I have a gas safe card for domestic gas cooking appliances, but I can't work on boilers or gas fires, for example. The back of the card is important.

    NEVER accept excuses like 'I'm waiting for a replacement in the post' or any other such nonsense.

    If a repairer or fitter doesn't show a Gas safe card then don't let them anywhere near your gas appliance.
