What moves the price
- Complexity of the job — tracing a gas leak or fault can take more hours than a routine appliance service.
- Type of service required — a gas safety check takes less time than a central heating installation.
- Location of the property — a gas engineer based nearby may charge less for travel to and from the visit.
- Condition of existing systems — old pipework or appliances may need extra checks and parts, adding hours to the gas engineer's visit.
- Materials required — parts for a boiler repair are charged on top of the gas engineer's time.
- Access to the work area — a boiler in a cramped cupboard or attic takes longer for a gas engineer to work on.
