Worth knowing

Worth checking before work starts

A few rules and checks that apply to this kind of work.

  1. Gas cookers

    In Great Britain, anyone you pay to work on a gas cooker, oven or hob in your home must be a Gas Safe registered engineer.

  2. Product recalls

    Before paying for a repair, check the product recalls list on GOV.UK. If your appliance has been recalled, you may be able to get a repair, replacement or refund from the manufacturer or a retailer.

  3. Find the model number

    Find the appliance's model and serial numbers before you request quotes. They are usually on a label inside the door or on the back.

How do I check an engineer can work on gas cookers?

Is it worth repairing a washing machine?

Often, if the fault is a part such as a pump, door seal or drum belt. Give the make, model and age, and describe the fault, so the engineer can say whether a repair makes sense.
