I'm having a new central heating system installed in my property
The works total approximately £4K (for parts and labour)
The gas engineer has just asked me for a deposit.. They haven't stated the amount they require
However I wanted to know what steps should I take to cover myself? e.g. do not pay above x%
Should I ask where he is purchasing the high price items (e.g. boiler/rads) and perhaps pay for these directly as opposed to handing over cash?
I have never worked with the chap before and found him on the gas safe register. He set up a company which appears to have dissolved four years ago.
