Advertising

Hello Everyone,

How many people on here advertise themselves as a plumbing and heating company if they are not gas safe? Maybe a daft question but just wondered if you thought it gave the wrong impression.

Thanks.

I don't see how you can advertise heating if your not gas safe or oil/solid equivalent:30:

Why can you not advertise heating if your not gas safe ??
dont need gsr to change pump, put in new stat , do rad add ons etc

 

[philtheflush]

thats right i totaly agree same as are you a plumber if youve only done a gas course

 

[RPG 80]

so you can advertise heating but you cant work on the boiler

 

[philtheflush]

well what does a rad do

 

[RPG 80]

radiates heat thanks to the boiler

I take on gas jobs but am not GasSafe.

(That's cos I get me GS chappy in to do the appropriate parts!! I do oil.)

I take the point though about advertising "& heating" unless you have one of the heating qualifications.

 

[hammers4spanner]

You can do whatever you want to heat circuit if not gsr however you cannot do anything regarding appliance ,flue gas run etc ,

your basically saying you cant even work on a f+e tank which any plumber can .

 

[RPG 80]

What im saying is you cant work on the heat source which is quite an important part of a heating system

 

[hammers4spanner]

Agreed but can still advertise heating as long as not advertising gsr logo or gsr registerd on biz cards etc etc , i would advertise potato farming on my van if i thought it bought in work.

 

[RPG 80]

so would u advertise potato farming if you could plant them but not harvest them ? ie a full scope of the job?

Why not get a friend/contractor to assist on your works gained if out of your spec?

You can advertise anything on your van but if you can't deliver you are letting the customer down and you will end up with a poor reputation. A bit like going clubbing with a pair of socks stuffed down your Y fronts, when you get to the bedroom scene you can't deliver what you've advertised.

at the end of the day if someone phoned me and asked me to change a pump, rad, port valves, cylinder, ect and that was because i had heating on my cards then im doing right if someone phoned me to work on a boiler without the gassafe logo on my card im still doing right because i would tell them i cant work on boilers as im not gassafe and put them in touch with someone i definetley know who is and thats the important thing
