    If you go to gassaferegister.co.uk you will find contact details of all registered engineers in your area, including distance from you when you enter your postcode, you just have to make contact and trawl through them till you find one.

    The issue will be similar to finding someone to repair a 1950s car.  They are very simple, but younger mechanics probably wouldn't have in depth knowledge of fault diagnosis.

    I had similar with a 1980s Main instant water heater.  A very simple device, little more than a thermocouple and a gas valve, but when the engineer in his 30s arrived he had no knowledge of them and didn't want to touch it.
