Gas Engineer in Romford
Professional gas work you can trust
Mitchell offers boiler installation, servicing and repairs, as well as landlord gas safety checks. By law, this work must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer, as gas is potentially dangerous if not managed by someone with the right training, qualifications and legal registration.
It is for homeowners or landlords who need boiler installation, repairs, servicing or landlord gas safety checks. Whether you are looking for a new boiler, a routine safety check or a complex repair, you need an engineer who is fully trained, registered and experienced, providing you with the peace of mind that your work is being done correctly.
Mitchell is fully Gas Safe registered and ACS qualified, bringing 15 years of professional experience in plumbing and heating to every job in Romford. We focus on clear, honest advice and high-quality workmanship, explaining the proposed work so you can make an informed decision.
We treat your home with respect and ensure all work, from a simple service to a complex installation, is left safe, tested and fully functional. Choosing the right engineer is about more than just finding someone with the right badge; it is about finding someone who values your safety, your time and your home as much as you do.

Why gas work must be carried out properly
Poor or unqualified gas work is not just an inconvenience; it is a serious hazard to you, your family and your property. Every gas appliance needs to be installed, maintained and repaired with careful attention to detail and adherence to strict safety regulations.
Significant safety risks
Incorrectly fitted boilers, flues or other gas appliances can lead to life-threatening issues, such as carbon monoxide leaks. All work involving gas must be tested by a Gas Safe engineer to ensure it is checked for safe operation.
Illegal, unauthorised work
Carrying out or permitting gas work to be done by someone who is not Gas Safe registered is against the law. It puts your home and those within it at risk, and you could face serious legal consequences.
Invalidated warranties and insurance
Boiler manufacturers require proof of installation by a Gas Safe registered engineer to validate your warranty. If you use an unregistered person, your manufacturer's warranty and potentially your home insurance policy may be invalidated.
Costly re-work
Poorly performed gas work often fails quickly or causes damage to your system, meaning you have to pay someone else to fix it again properly. Use a Gas Safe registered engineer for work on your boiler.
Common mistakes we see
- Hiring someone to work on your boiler or gas appliances without verifying that they are currently Gas Safe registered.
- Attempting DIY gas work or repairs, which is illegal and presents an extreme safety risk to you and your household.
- Ignoring warning signs like strange noises, smells, or soot marks around a gas appliance, which should be checked immediately by a Gas Safe engineer.

"Great service, traced a leak that no one else could find with any certainty. Repaired and put us in contact with an insurance loss assessor to take care of all the repairs. Honestly it's been as effortless as possible. Highly recommend."
"Old boiler died, new one quoted and fitted in a week. Left the house spotless after. Absolute top job by Mitch and team."
