Questions to Ask Your Trade
Are you Gas Safe / NICEIC registered for my oven type?
Is your quote fixed or will hourly charges apply after the first hour?
Will you bring common spare parts or order after diagnosis?
How long is the warranty on parts and labour?
Do you provide a written safety certificate after repair?
What are your call‑out fees for evenings or weekends?
Can you show proof of public liability insurance?
How to Avoid Surprises
Ensure clear access to the oven and isolator switch.
Reserve parking close to the door for tool cases.
Note any error codes in advance to speed diagnosis.
Tell the engineer if the oven is under warranty or has previous repairs.
Keep children & pets away from the work zone.
Confirm whether payment is card, cash or invoice before the visit.
