I'm no gasman, but what utter tosh. They are working to earn a living, same as most other people. Time is money. Site visits cost.
So, yet another of your flawed ideas.

Someone said in a parallel thread to this, everyone knows what it is; "I get a lot of repeat business",
Which implies.....you DIDN'T do the job correctly in the first place. No response to THAT thread has been answered in good taste, and leaves a bad taste in the mouths of consumers, these people are up themselves, think they are above any other organisation, and charge excessive for non work, to the point of criminality.
There is no response what so ever, to counter that argument.

"I get a lot of repeat business"..............which implies.....you DIDN'T do the job correctly in the first place............ I am not here in defence of the tradesmen you refer to - they can do that themselves. What I do take issue with is your interpretation of: "I get a lot of repeat business". I doubt if anyone else in the whole country would interpret this as you have done, as meaning that the tradesman botched the job in the first place. It simply means, I was pleased with the work you done previously and based on that experience, would like you to come back and do other jobs for me. Personally, I use the same joiner, plumber and decorator time after time after time because I am happy with the finished product and the price.
No response to THAT thread has been answered in good taste, and leaves a bad taste in the mouths of consumers............was it about food preperation, THAT thread?
These people are up themselves.............I see! They work nights while the rest of us are sleeping
They............charge excessive for non work, to the point of criminality..........I would agree that where the tradesman wastes time like the plumber on Watchdog last week and then presents a bill which includes charges for time wasted, it is criminal. Having said that, if the guy wants to charge £100 for each half hour and makes that perfectly clear to the customer in advance and doesn't waste time, I see nothing wrong in that. Two months ago, I fitted a doughnut washer to the underside of my cystern in less the 30 minutes. The guy on Watchdog charged (I think) £600+ for the same job but also fitted parts that were not required. That may have appeared to be dishonesty, but as far as I know, the matter was not referred to the police.
Is this thread in the right forum?

Couldn't the same be said for many other open forum areas?
true but gas and electric do have diffrent legal aspec to it

DIY gas is not illegal, so why a closed forum?
If someone can't afford a Gassafe so need to do the job themselves, they are going to do it anyway. Would it not be better if they could get some advice ahead of the job?
If anything went wrong (less likely following professional advice) there would be no comeback on the forum or anyone giving advice.

You seem to be under the impression that I don't think the cc is a good idea. What makes you think that?
I happen to think it's wonderful, and the fact that joe90 can't get in there and is spitting blood because of it is just peachy.
sorry miss understood you
So who exactly are they going to prove your competency to then? The bloke down the pub or in the bookies who knows jack about bugger all?
You have to prove yourself competent, end of.
Once you do that you can then apply to the holder of the gas registration scheme to go on of that said register
Oh, and do you think for one moment that if somebody did gas work and then heaven forbid blew their house and next doors up that their house insurance would cover them
Errrrr, No
Oh don't start that cr*p off again.
