Andrew Drake Gas Safe registered heating engineer. LPG and mains gas. Boilers, gas fires and cookers, servicing, repairs and installation. Landlord/Safety Certificates.

All types of plumbing work. I'm an experienced Gas Safe registered heating engineer. I offer fixed price servicing for all types of natural gas and LPG boilers, fires and cookers.

Routine servicing, Safety Certificates, etc are now available. However, all sensible precautions must still be taken, especially social distancing. Please let me know if you have any special requirements, eg shielding. Thanks, and stay safe.

Afternoon all. At this difficult time for everyone, I have postponed routine, scheduled work such as servicing. However I will respond to urgent calls such as boiler breakdowns, leaks or blockages. I will take as many precautions as possible (disposable gloves, sanitiser, minimum distances, etc). Please don't invite me in if you are self-isolating or showing symptoms. Obviously in the future I will stop all work if anyone in my household starts showing symptoms. Thank you.

This is the busiest time of year for a heating engineer. I do try to prioritise emergency/urgent requests where possible. Thanks for your patience.

This is why I fit Magnaclean magnetic filters. That's iron oxide (black sludge), and it will wreck your central heating system. I always fit one with a new boiler, but they're also available as a retrofit, combined with a system flush.

Gas Safety Week: Fighting for a Gas Safe Nation

Landlords are legally responsible for the safety of their tenants. Landlords should make sure maintenance and annual safety checks on gas appliances are carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
If you’re a landlord, you are legally obliged to make sure:

Gas pipework, appliances and flues provided for tenants are maintained in a safe condition.
All gas appliances and flues provided for tenants use have an annual safety check. You can set a reminder so you don’t forget at StayGasSafe.co.uk.
Maintenance and annual safety checks are carried out by a qualified Gas Safe registered engineer.
All gas equipment (including any appliance left by a previous tenant) is safe or otherwise removed before re-letting.
A Gas Safety Record is provided to the tenant within 28 days of completing the check or to any new tenant before they move in.
You keep a copy of the Gas Safety Record for two years.

Before any gas work is carried out always check the engineer is qualified to carry out the work that needs doing e.g. natural gas, domestic boiler. You can find this information on the Gas Safe Register website or by checking the back of the engineer’s Gas Safe ID card. Encourage your tenants to also check the card when they arrive at the property.

For more information and to find or check an engineer visit GasSafeRegister.co.uk or call 0800 408 5500.

Gas Safety Week: Fighting for a Gas Safe Nation

I am proud to be supporting Gas Safety Week 2018, taking place 17th – 23rd September.
Gas Safety Week is an annual safety week to raise awareness of gas safety and the importance of taking care of your gas appliances. It is co-ordinated by Gas Safe Register, the official list of gas engineers who are legally allowed to work on gas.
Badly fitted and poorly serviced gas appliances can cause gas leaks, fires, explosions and carbon monoxide poisoning. Every year thousands of people across the UK are diagnosed with carbon monoxide poisoning. It is a highly poisonous gas that can kill quickly with no warning, as you cannot see it, taste it or smell it.
By taking care of your gas appliances properly you are taking care of your home and your loved ones. Follow these few simple checks to keep you and your family safe.
Check your gas appliances every year. Gas appliances should be safety checked once a year and serviced regularly by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Tenants – make sure your landlord arranges this. Set a reminder so you don’t forget at StayGasSafe.co.uk.

Check your engineer is Gas Safe registered. You can find or check an engineer at GasSafeRegister.co.uk or call 0800 408 5500.

Check your engineer is qualified for the type of gas work you need doing e.g. natural gas, domestic boiler. You can find this information on the back of their Gas Safe ID card and the Gas Safe Register website.

Check for warning signs that your appliances aren’t working correctly, such as lazy yellow /orange flames instead of crisp blue ones, black marks on or around the appliance, a pilot light that keeps going out and too much condensation in the room.

Know the six main symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning – headaches, dizziness, breathlessness, nausea, collapse and loss of consciousness.

Have an audible carbon monoxide alarm. This will alert you if there is carbon monoxide in your home.
For gas safety advice and to find or check an engineer visit the Gas Safe Register website at GasSafeRegister.co.uk. Alternatively call the free helpline on 0800 408 5500.
