Common questions

How do I check Gas Safe in Swansea?
Search the engineer on gassaferegister.co.uk and match the ID card they show on site. Gas work in Swansea must be on the register — the plumbers chapter explains the call-out and quote.
Do I need a licence for skip hire in Swansea?
On the public highway, the skip firm should arrange the council permit. A private driveway usually does not. Confirm who applies and the fee before delivery. See the skip-hire chapter.
How do I choose an electrician or tree surgeon in Swansea?
Electricians: prefer NICEIC or NAPIT (or Building Control for notifiable work). Tree work: ask for insurance, waste disposal and whether they are a competent climber — “gardens” ads are not a substitute. Each trade has its own chapter from this hub.
What should I ask a tradesperson in Swansea before they start?
Competence scheme (Gas Safe, NICEIC/NAPIT, waste licence), what the first hour includes, and a written labour-and-parts quote. In Swansea, do not let “emergency” skip those checks.
