Right how many of you are aware that if someone flashed a gas safe card which is up to date might not mean they are actually qualified to work on what you have specifically called them out too ? Ive just answered an appliance query on here (a gas tumble dryer) and ended up on my soap box so thought id ask the question on the general forum
Gas safe are you sure?

Interesting point which makes sense for example just because someone is a qualified doctor does not make them a heart surgeon.
There's a difference between "qualified" and "capable". How can someone check to determine whether a qualified person is capable of dealing with a specific problem with a specific appliance?

You can check to see if he's qualified for the appliance by looking at the gas safe card. Whether he's capable is another matter.
But sooey the front of the gas safe card (the side with your photo on ) is identical across all catagorys so its only if you ask to look at the back of the card do you see the list or in some cases the only element they are qualified to work on and thats my point so to everyone i would say dont be embarassed to ask for the card as if they are geniune as i am then ive paid a lot a money for this bit of plastic and in no way would i be unhappy to show it off to you

No joe thats british gas tactics not the majority of proper gas fitters m8
Trouble is joe, if you repair a fault on some twenty year old heap of cr*p that's never been looked at and get it running again, you then "own" all the other faults that will rear their ugly heads in the months to come. Then, when you try explaining to someone you only cleaned the pilot and it's not your fault that the pump/fan/gas valve has gone t*ts up, they think I'm getting conned here, just like you would. You can't win.......
unless you flog em a nice shiny new, modern, efficient appliance of course.
