gas connections

[robqqq]

Hi, just past ACS & appliances , looking to earn some spare cash on my days off by doing what ever gas work there is available but not sure of the going rate £'s? is there many plumbers out there who aren't Gas Safe ? what would be the sensible going rate for gas connection on appliances?

Hi, my thoughts where if a plumber had fitted/plumbed a boiler to the M.I. and then perhaps if he wasn't gas registered then I could connect the gas , other work hope to pick up - servicing, installation, of cookers fires , boilers

Your a fool if your gonna go round final conecting and signing off other non registered installers work for 60-100 quid

And you need your own number and pl insurance to do work after your hours with your boss

This is the mad thing? How did he pass his ACS? Seriously?

What registered engineer has he been working with to gain his portfolio of evidence?

I've helped a bloke to get his ACS. There is no way he would come on here asking such a stupid question.

rob just casue you have passed your acs does not mean u can work on any gas stuff, you boss will need to register you and you will need to register your own card as well as if i was your boss i would not allow you do outside work under his name

Hi, this forum is quite addictive hey , not yet but obviously will do before I do any work, did my ACS & appliances in January was on the hope that my employer will pay for the commercial cross over + registration, so just holding out for a little while in-case this happens,
I could only guess at pricing , £50 a boiler service and perhaps £20 for every other appliance thereafter ? I was charged £215 to connect a gas fire couple of years ago he was here not even 2 hours, think this gave me the drive to get gas qualified

 

[smtplumbing]

what were u learning before passin you acs were u doing boiler service or doing plant room stuff, take it you have a Fga.
holding out you must note you can not undertake any gas work

Let us know how your probation period goes.

Danny , thats a bit strong , I was just asking if there was plumbers (qualified) out there who weren't gas qualified , of course the flue would be checked or even fitted as well , if you don't like the question don't reply then

You cannot do any private work unless you have your own gassafe registration number and public liability insurance.

IF you go to another installation to make the final connections both you and the chancer who installed the boiler are working illegally.

As a moot point, have you clearance from your boss regarding private gas work?

Thread closed until you can prove you are gsr.
