Our gas subcontractor jobs feed is open to all Gas Safe registered self-employed engineers with valid public liability and a clean compliance record. Domestic, commercial and LPG work is routed according to ACS modules held and your declared travel radius.
Who we recruit
We onboard Gas Safe registered self-employed engineers who hold current ACS qualifications (CCN1, CENWAT, CKR1, HTR1, MET1 at minimum) and carry their own public liability cover of at least £2,000,000. Engineers with commercial COMCAT 1–5 tickets and CODNCO1/CIGA1 unlock additional ticket types from our commercial pipeline.
Domestic gas engineers
Domestic-ticketed engineers handle annual boiler services, fault diagnosis, combi swaps, system boiler installs and CP12 landlord gas safety certificates. Most of our domestic tickets are pre-surveyed with the make, model and fault code attached so engineers can van-stock the right parts before they arrive.
Boiler service tickets
Annual services priced as a flat rate including flue gas analysis, combustion check, condensate inspection and benchmark book signoff.
Breakdown tickets
Fault diagnosis priced as a first-hour rate with parts authorised by phone or app before the second hour begins.
Commercial gas engineers
Engineers with the relevant commercial Gas Safe categories cover boilers, rooftop plant, water heaters and tightness testing; catering categories apply to kitchen appliances and associated work. Tickets range from single-engineer breakdowns to multi-week plant room refurbishments.
How the work flows
Customer calls land in our central office. Our coordinators triage the job, agree pricing with the customer and dispatch the ticket to the nearest available subcontractor whose ticket set matches the work. Engineers accept or decline from a mobile app, complete the job, upload the certificate and submit photos. Payment terms are agreed for each accepted job.
What you keep, what we keep
Subcontractors keep their independence, their tools, their van and their trading name. We keep the cost of customer acquisition, the office overhead, customer coordination and the bookkeeping. The pricing schedule is published in advance so there are no surprises on either side.
Compliance & safety
Every subcontractor we engage is checked against the Gas Safe register before tickets are issued, with annual re-verification. Insurance certificates, ACS dates and ID are tracked in our compliance system and refreshed automatically. Site-specific RAMS are issued for commercial works and method statements are reviewed by our team before mobilisation.
Why subcontractors choose us for gas subcontractor jobs
We have built our gas subcontractor jobs pipeline specifically around the three things self-employed engineers tell us matter most — clear scopes, transparent pricing and agreed payment terms. When we have suitable work, each ticket reaches you with a fixed price, a clear scope of works, the customer's contact details and a parts plan so you can keep your tools moving instead of keeping a notepad.
Agreed payment terms
Payment terms are agreed with you before you start, and you never invoice our customers directly.
Payment records
Remittance details are provided for each payment so you can reconcile against your own records.
Tickets priced before issue
No haggling on the doorstep. Each gas subcontractor jobs ticket arrives in ServiceM8 with a fixed price, agreed parts list and customer access notes attached.
Accept or decline freely
You retain full control of your diary — decline anything that doesn't fit your travel radius, ticket set or van stock without any impact on future allocations.
Full back-office support
Customer triage, quoting, scheduling, parts ordering, certificate collection and complaint handling are all handled by our office. You focus on the engineering.
Coordinator on call
A named coordinator is available by phone for live site queries — variations, access issues and parts substitutions.
Gas Subcontractor Jobs FAQs
How quickly will I receive my first ticket?
Once your application, insurance and ticket evidence are verified, we offer gas subcontractor jobs tickets when suitable work is available in your area. We cannot guarantee when, or how much, work will be offered.
Onboarding window
Onboarding includes ServiceM8 setup, payment details capture and a short induction call covering scope of works, reporting standards and escalation routes.
Do I need my own van, tools and parts?
Yes — subcontractors are expected to operate with their own van and core toolkit. Major parts and the appliance itself are supplied from our merchant accounts at trade rates.
Van stock list
A recommended van stock list is shared at onboarding. Common consumables held in stock are reimbursed at trade price against the signed worksheet.
What insurance do I need to start?
A minimum of £2,000,000 public liability cover is required for domestic work, rising to £5,000,000 for commercial sites. Proof must be uploaded before any ticket is issued.
Annual renewal tracking
Our compliance system tracks every renewal date and prompts you 30 days in advance so cover never lapses mid-ticket.
Can I work across multiple regions?
Absolutely. You set your travel radius at onboarding and can adjust it at any time — we only push gas subcontractor jobs tickets that fall within the zone you choose.
Out-of-area uplift
Tickets accepted outside your standard radius receive a documented travel uplift agreed before mobilisation, so longer journeys are always priced fairly.
