Local Gas Engineer near Me Putney SW15
We send gas engineers in Putney to all kinds of homes, from Victorian terraces between the High Street and Putney Common to the big houses on Putney Hill, the flats around East Putney station and the newer blocks by the river. The work covers boiler repairs, servicing and installation on all major brands, central heating faults, power flushing, gas fires, and cookers, hobs and range cookers. Each engineer is Gas Safe registered and shows their ID card on arrival. You get a clear explanation of the problem and the likely cost before work starts, and we put the most reliable and cost effective solution first. Plans only change with your say-so.
Putney's older houses often hide a heating system that has been added to over many decades, so a heating engineer needs patience as well as parts. We trace the whole system rather than just the obvious fault. If your kitchen is being redone, we handle the gas hob installation, run two gas tests, check the ventilation and leave a gas safety certificate. You are kept informed at every stage, and nothing goes ahead without your agreement. Our engineers are friendly and approachable, and happy to answer questions as they work.
We also cover the whole of West London, including Richmond, Shepherds Bush, Hammersmith, Chiswick, Ealing, Barnes, Notting Hill, Kensington, Fulham and Putney. Find our gas engineers in Putney on Google Maps.
What Putney Customers Say About Our Gas Engineers
Putney customers often find us through a neighbour's recommendation. Below are reviews they have written in their own words after our engineer had finished the job and left.
Boilers
Putney Gas Boiler Engineers
Putney has every generation of boiler. Large Victorian houses on Putney Hill and West Hill often have system boilers and hot water cylinders serving several floors, sometimes after a split into flats. Terraces near the river usually run combis, and the interwar cottage homes of the Dover House estate in Roehampton have had their heating renewed more than once. We find the fault, explain it and give a repair price before starting. If the boiler is worn out, we offer a no-obligation survey and quotation for a replacement.

Central heating
Recommended Gas Engineers for Central Heating in Putney
Big Putney houses can have long central heating circuits across three or four floors, and faults show up as cold top floors, noisy pipes or a boiler that keeps losing pressure. We check the pump, valves and water quality across the whole system. Where sludge has built up, power flushing can bring radiators back to full heat.

We connect gas hobs, cookers and range cookers, disconnect what you had before, run two gas tests and check the ventilation. You receive a gas safety certificate once everything is connected and tested. The supply to the old cooker is capped and tested as part of the job.

Heating Engineer Putney: What We Find in SW15 Homes
Putney's homes run from the river up to the heath, and the gas work changes as you climb. Near the water, the streets off Lower Richmond Road and around Putney Bridge are lined with Victorian terraces, often split into flats with combis in small kitchens. Further up, Putney Hill and West Hill have larger Victorian and Edwardian houses, some still family homes with big systems, others divided into flats with several boilers and flues on one building. South of the Upper Richmond Road, the West Putney conservation area holds more period houses with original fireplaces. Out towards Roehampton, the post-war blocks of the Alton Estate and the cottage homes of the Dover House estate have their own layouts. Further along the A3, Roehampton Vale and Kingston Vale sit close to Richmond Park, with a mix of houses and flats set back from the main road. To the east, Wandsworth brings its own Victorian streets, newer riverside blocks and a busy town centre.
Many older Putney houses still have chimney breasts in most rooms, and some still have a gas fire in the front room. Fires like these need a proper check: the flue has to draw, the ventilation has to be right and the appliance itself has to burn cleanly. We install and check gas fires, and we will tell you plainly if an old one should be retired. The same care goes into boilers in the houses converted into flats on West Hill and around Wandsworth, where flues from several homes may run close together. Where a fire sits in a room with a newer extension built behind it, we check that its air supply has not been cut off.

Gas Engineer FAQs for Putney
Straight answers to the questions Putney customers ask most about gas work.
Still not sure?
Ask an engineerDo I need a Gas Safe engineer to fit or connect a gas hob or cooker?
Yes. Fitting or connecting a gas hob or cooker is gas work, so it must be done by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Pulling your own cooker out on its bayonet to clean behind it is fine, but a new or different appliance is an installation. We connect it, test the gas before and after, and give you a certificate. Putney kitchens are often moved into a rear or side extension, which means a longer gas run to the new hob. We plan the route, check ventilation and test everything before the worktop and splashback go on.
Is a gas engineer the same as a plumber?
Not always. Anyone can call themselves a plumber, but only a Gas Safe registered engineer can legally work on gas appliances such as boilers, hobs and fires. Our team covers both, so one visit can sort out the gas side and the water side of your heating.
I can smell gas in my home. Who do I call first?
Call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999 straight away, open windows and doors, and turn the gas off at the meter if you can. Do not use switches or flames. They make the supply safe, but repairs to pipes and appliances after the meter are up to you, so call us next to trace and fix the fault.
How much does a gas engineer charge in Putney?
Our gas, boiler and heating engineers charge £130 +VAT an hour, Monday to Friday, 08.00 to 17.00, with a one hour minimum and 15 minute periods after that. Parts are charged at trade price plus 25%, and a landlord gas safety record is £130 +VAT for up to two appliances. We never charge for travel to Putney. The usual local extra is a parking bay in a Wandsworth Council zone, added to the invoice at the price we paid.
Can you disconnect my old cooker and connect the new one in the same visit?
Yes. We disconnect the old appliance, check the position and connection for the new one, then fit it and test it, all in one visit. If you want the old cooker taken away, we can do that too for a set disposal charge.
Do homeowners need a gas safety certificate, and how often do landlords need one?
Landlords must have every gas appliance checked each year and give tenants a copy of the record within 28 days. The check can be done up to two months early and keep the same renewal date. Homeowners are not legally required to have one, but an annual service is strongly advised. Putney has a busy rental market, from flats over the High Street shops to divided houses near East Putney and student homes near the University of Roehampton. We provide landlord gas safety certificates across SW15, and landlords with more than one property can have them checked in a single round of visits.
Should I repair my old boiler or replace it?
Repair first, unless there is a clear reason not to. We look at the age of the boiler, whether parts are still made and how often it has broken down, then price the repair. If replacement makes more sense, we show you why and quote it separately, with no obligation.
What happens if the problem comes back after a repair?
Call us. Repairs carry a three month written guarantee and new installations twelve months. We come back, check the work and put right anything the guarantee covers.
How do I check a gas engineer is Gas Safe registered?
Ask to see their Gas Safe ID card and check both sides. The front shows their photo and licence number, and the back lists the gas work they are qualified for, such as cookers or boilers. You can also check the business on the Gas Safe Register online. Our engineers show their card on every visit.
