Best Gas engineers in Telford 2026
Last checked
36 providers researched, 7 ranked
Signed off by Douglas Franco
You call a gas engineer for boilers, gas fires, cookers and the pipework and flues that serve them — and for the annual safety checks landlords must hold [2][6]. Across Telford's mix of new-build estates and older semis, that means servicing, breakdown diagnosis, landlord certificates, and telling you honestly when repair has stopped making sense.
The distinction that matters is legal, not just practical: anyone paid to work on gas must be on the Gas Safe Register, so a plumber or handyperson without registration must not touch gas parts [1]. This page ranks Telford gas engineers on dated evidence, with hire checks, rough prices, warning signs and answers below.
Gas engineers in Telford at a glance
Every ranked gas engineer in round gas-engineers-2026-09, with its score out of 100, public ratings and the industry qualifications we could source. Full evidence is on each assessment page.
Best for: high-volume reviewed cover and servicing
Our judgement: this is the established, high-feedback option in this round, suited to you if you want servicing or ongoing cover from a long-trading local firm. We rate its customer evidence and trading history as strengths because both are dated and checkable [2][5]. Before you book, agree the price in writing and ask to see the attending engineer's Gas Safe ID card on arrival.
74.6 / 100
Strengths
Customer evidence is unusually deep, with 742 Google reviews at 4.9 seen on 3 September 2026 [5]. That volume means you can read about recent boiler and cover-plan jobs before you call.
The company record is long and stable: SHROPSHIRE GAS LTD has been active at Companies House since 4 July 2011, and its registered address matches the Wellington address on its website [2][3]. The site describes cover for more than 6,000 Shropshire properties and over 40 years of experience [1].
Limitations
No insurance details are published, which we score as insufficient evidence rather than a failing [1].
Our judgement: a tidy all-rounder if you want boilers, plumbing or landlord paperwork from a documented local company. We rate its company record and service detail as strengths because both match across sources [1][2]. Before you book, agree the price in writing and confirm who will attend.
69.8 / 100
Strengths
The paper trail is clean: DMH HEATING & PLUMBING LTD is active at the York Road trading address since 13 August 2021 [2].
The site is specific and protective: City & Guilds levels 1 to 3, public liability insurance, a 12-month work guarantee and free no-obligation quotes are all stated, though no number is given [1].
Limitations
Those qualification and insurance statements carry no numbers to note down [1].
Service area: Telford, Shrewsbury, Newport, Market Drayton, Bridgnorth, Broseley, Shropshire
Best for: emergency boiler help with published number
Our judgement: a strong call for breakdowns and landlord certificates if you want a named local engineer with published details. We rate its published number and pricing clarity as strengths because both are usable before you spend anything [1]. Before you book, agree the fixed quote in writing and confirm who will attend.
69.2 / 100
Strengths
The site publishes Gas Safe number 576668 alongside a 24-hour call-out promise and a clear no-call-out-fee statement, so you know exactly what to check and what arranging the visit costs [1].
Customer evidence is solid at 4.9 from 55 Google reviews, seen 3 September 2026, and the site lists landlord certificates, servicing and installs across named Telford areas [1][3].
Limitations
The “over ten years” experience is the engineer's own website claim with no independent record, which caps the history score, and no insurance details are published, scored as insufficient evidence [1].
Best for: round-the-clock boiler and plumbing cover
Our judgement: a useful enquiry option if you want an always-available local firm with clear service information. We rate its website and ratings as strengths because both are specific and dated [1][3]. Before you book, ask for an itemised quote and agree the call-out terms.
68.2 / 100
Strengths
A 5.0 rating from 67 Google reviews, seen 3 September 2026, is solid customer evidence for a small local firm [3].
The website is genuinely useful: named boiler and plumbing services, Telford and Shropshire coverage, 24/7 call-outs and a direct phone line [1]. It also states engineers are Gas Safe registered and fully insured, though no number or amount is given [1].
Limitations
We found no matching Companies House record and no trading-years statement, so history is insufficient evidence, and the Gas Safe statement carries no number [1].
Best for: named-engineer boiler servicing and installs
Our judgement: a personal-service option if you prefer dealing with a named engineer whose company you can look up. We rate its matched company record and clear scope as strengths because both are checkable [1][2]. Before you book, agree the price in writing and confirm who will attend.
67.0 / 100
Strengths
The company record matches the business: SURE FIRE GAS SERVICES LTD is active at the Glovers Way address with Richard Karl Peacock as director [2].
The site names its scope plainly — servicing, repairs, installs, cylinders, radiators and power flushing — and states Gas Safe registration with free quotes [1].
Limitations
No prices or insurance amounts are published on the site, so ask for both in writing before you agree anything [1]
Best for: family firm with stated Gas Safe registration
Our judgement: a practical shortlist option for servicing and landlord certificates if you like family firms with their details on show. We rate its published number and cover detail as strengths because you can act on both [1]. Before you book, agree the quote in writing and confirm who will attend.
66.5 / 100
Strengths
Gas Safe number 652975 is published on the site next to a fully-insured statement, a free-quote offer and a 24-hour emergency line, giving you concrete items to confirm [1].
A 4.8 rating from 35 Google reviews, seen 3 September 2026, is reasonable customer evidence, and the site names landlord certificates alongside boiler servicing, repairs and installs [1][3].
Limitations
We found no company record, so trading history is insufficient evidence [1].
Service area: Telford, Shrewsbury, Wellington, Broseley, Ironbridge, Newport, Much Wenlock
Our judgement: contactable and reviewed, but harder to place on paper than others here, so suit it to smaller jobs where you can meet the engineer first. We include it on ratings rather than company clarity [5]. Before you book, ask which legal entity you are contracting with and get the quote in writing.
66.4 / 100
Strengths
A 5.0 rating from 55 Google reviews, seen 3 September 2026, is good customer evidence for a small firm [5].
The site is clear about scope: boiler install, repair and servicing, gas fires and cookers, landlord and home-mover checks and emergency call-outs, with costs agreed before work starts [1].
Limitations
The company picture is mixed: the firm-name limited company (13343141) was dissolved in August 2022, while a similarly named active company at the same address dates only from March 2024, so we cannot confirm the trading entity and history is insufficient evidence [2][3].

How we chose
We build the candidate list from the gas engineers Google Maps (Places) shows across Telford, then match each business at Companies House and read its own website for services, areas and terms. Claimed memberships are checked against the registers that matter for this trade — the Gas Safe Register above all, plus TrustMark where it is claimed [1][5]. Before we score anyone, we check that each business is who it says it is, is trading today and can actually be reached. We then score every eligible business against our scoring system, which looks at the things you care about when hiring: what customers say, the qualifications and registrations that matter for this trade, how the business responded when we contacted it, how long it has traded, insurance and safeguards, how clearly it prices, and how useful its website is. Anything we cannot verify stays neutral rather than counting against a business. The ranking shows its evidence date so you can see how fresh every check is.
How to hire
Match the visit to the need first. Annual servicing, breakdown diagnosis, landlord safety checks and new appliance connections are different jobs with different prices — say which one you are buying when you call [5]. A gas engineer owns everything gas: boilers, fires, cookers, pipework and flues. Water-only faults such as dripping taps belong to a plumber, while a full boiler replacement also needs an installer who will size, fit and commission the new unit.
Check registration before any gas work starts. Ask to see the engineer's Gas Safe ID card on arrival and check the licence number plus the categories of gas work on the register — the card alone is not proof [1]. Confirm public liability insurance and, for breakdowns, ask the diagnosis fee and the spending limit beyond which they must call you. HSE publishes plain guidance on domestic gas duties and landlord responsibilities — read the page that fits your situation [2][6].
Get the price structure in writing. A service or landlord check should be a fixed price stating which appliances are covered; a breakdown visit should state the diagnosis fee, the hourly rate after that, and whether parts are new or reconditioned. Keep deposits small and pay the balance after the work and paperwork are complete. Citizens Advice sets out your rights with traders and the steps if work goes wrong — keep every quote, invoice and record together.
On completion, insist on the written record: a service record or landlord gas safety record naming each appliance and flue checked, the engineer and registration number, the date, defects found and remedial action taken [3]. Landlords must pass copies to tenants within 28 days and keep records for at least two years [2]. Test the heating and hot water with the engineer present, and file the record where you can find it at the next service.
Pricing
As of autumn 2026, rough Telford ranges run like this: a one-off gas boiler service £70–£110, averaging around £79; a one-off repair following a service averaging around £156; an annual cover plan averaging around £183 a year; and a powerflush for a five-radiator system £300–£750, averaging around £500 [7]. Telford usually sits below London and South East prices for equivalent work.
What moves the price is the boiler's age and parts availability, sludge in the system, access to the flue and condensate route, and whether the visit is planned or urgent. Servicing in late summer is routinely easier to book than a breakdown slot in the first cold snap.
Get in writing what the visit covers — which appliances, which checks, parts and labour split separately, whether VAT is added, and that you receive the written record. Never authorise open-ended fault-finding with no spending limit; agree the point at which the engineer stops and calls you.
Red flags
Starts gas work without showing a Gas Safe ID card, or with a card that has expired [1].
Condemns or caps off your appliance but cannot explain why in plain terms or show the readings.
Services the boiler with no analyser readings and no written record of what was checked.
Quotes a repair without naming the part, its price, and whether it is new or reconditioned.
Presses a cover plan on the doorstep before giving the one-off repair price [4].
Questions about gas engineers
How do I check Gas Safe registration?
Ask to see the photo ID card when they arrive, then check the licence number and the work categories on the Gas Safe Register before they start [1]. The card alone is not proof — always cross-check the number, and confirm they are qualified for your exact job, such as boilers or cookers. If the details do not match, do not let the work go ahead.
I am a landlord — what are my gas duties?
You must have every gas appliance and flue checked every 12 months by a Gas Safe registered engineer, keep the record for at least two years, and give existing tenants a copy within 28 days and new tenants a copy before they move in [2][3]. Servicing alone does not count unless it covers the safety-check points. Diary the renewal date and book a few weeks early.
What is the difference between a service and a safety check?
A service maintains the appliance to the maker's instructions; a safety check verifies it is safe against a fixed legal list — and you cannot assume one covers the other [3]. For your own home, annual servicing keeps the warranty valid and catches faults early. When you book, say explicitly which of the two you are buying and ask what the written record will contain.
How often should my boiler be serviced?
Once a year. Annual servicing keeps the boiler efficient, protects most manufacturer warranties, and finds wear before winter exposes it [5]. A one-off service typically costs £70–£110 [5]. Book in late summer when engineers have diary space, and set a repeating reminder so the interval never drifts past twelve months.
What should I do if I smell gas?
If you smell gas, turn off the supply at the meter only if it is safe to reach, open doors and windows, and avoid switches, naked flames and electrical equipment. Leave the property and call the national gas emergency line from outside [6]. Do not go back inside until you are told it is safe, and arrange a Gas Safe engineer visit before using the appliances again.
Repair or replace my old boiler?
Consider replacement when breakdowns repeat each winter, parts grow scarce, or a single repair costs several hundred pounds on an old inefficient unit. Ask your engineer two questions: is this a one-off fix or the start of a pattern, and are parts readily available for this model. Get two or three itemised replacement quotes while the old boiler still runs.
