The grand tour of the gas safety check
You have arranged for an engineer to come to your property. The questions going through your mind will likely be:
What will the engineer be checking? Will the engineer just take a look around or will he/she fix anything?
When will I receive my Gas Safety Certificate once the engineer has been?
