  • How niche are electricians and gas engineers/installers? Does a hybrid of the two exist without going to a big/faceless company?

    I'm looking at having both a full electrical rewire and a boiler (plus central heating/radiators) added to an old brick property and it seems more intuitive to me to have a single tradesmen taking care of both tasks (more accountability, some potential economy of scale?).

    Am I hoping for something which doesn't really exist? An independent qualified electrician/gas engineer? Needless to say, any recommendations appreciated.

  • It's rare you'll find a one man band that does both, some partnerships are out there, a quick Google should show you and remember you can check membership of Gas Safe and anything like the NICEIC or ELECSA online.

  • They're two fairly distinct trades, if you want them done properly by a certified professional, get separate teams. Most sparks can recommend a decent plumber and vice versa.
