The engineer arrived as scheduled. Said he needed to buy parts and left. Came back and worked for 1.5 hours and found a part of the hob needs replacement.
The engineer, Lewis, said while leaving that he will invoice for 2.5 hours and will need to come back when part arrives. I asked him to bill for less as actual work was less and not complete. He agreed for 2 hours.
Later the invoice arrived for 2.5 hours (£300 with parts included). When I mailed him to ask why the extra half hour, he stopped responding until I mailed the company. He is not agreeing to 2 hours now.
I will pay him but have decided to use British Gas to complete the test of the job.
Prompt, on time and professional.
I will be staying with these guys.

A Professional, Safe Installation
When having any gas appliance fitted, you must always use a certified Gas Safe Registered engineer with insurance.
Gas cooker installation is certainly not a DIY job. Improper fitting can lead to gas leaks, which can prove fatal.
Correct fitting by a qualified engineer also ensures your new cooker’s warranty is valid.
In the event of a claim, the insurers will want to see evidence that a registered engineer fitted your cooker. Service records are provided after connection, so you can prove this.
Gas cooker fitting is a quick procedure. Our prices are also very reasonable.
We fit most types of Gas Cookers in Benfleet, which include:
- Gas Cookers
- LPG Gas Cookers
- Gas Range Cookers
- Built-In Gas Ovens
- Dual Fuel Cookers
- Gas Hobs
- Built-In Gas Hobs
Gas cookers must be fitted with suitable clearance from kitchen units, shelves, cladding, cables, etc, anything that’s flammable or could be damaged by heat.
The cooker needs suitable clearance on either side and above. We will ensure everything is in order before the installation.
If the space is not suitable for a cooker installation, we’ll recommend the necessary changes to your kitchen to ensure a proper and safe gas cooker installation. If you’re unsure, give us a call, and we will advise over the phone.
