What’s the difference between a heating engineer and a gas engineer?

A gas engineer works on the gas side: boilers, cookers, fires and pipework, and must be Gas Safe registered. A heating engineer works on the wet side: radiators, pumps, valves, cylinders, underfloor and controls. Sharif is both, so one visit covers the whole system.

Can I get a heating engineer in Walsall today?

Usually, yes. Message or call before midday and we’re normally with you the same day. Evenings and weekends are covered for genuine emergencies.

How much does a heating engineer cost?

We don’t charge by the hour. A fixed diagnosis fee is agreed before we set off, then a fixed price for the repair once we know what it is. Small jobs like a valve, thermostat or bleed and balance start from £99.

My boiler works but the heating doesn’t. Is that a heating engineer job?

Yes. If the boiler fires and you have hot water, the fault is usually in the heating circuit: the pump, a motorised valve, the thermostat or the programmer. All heating engineer jobs, all usually fixed the same day. See our no heating page.

Do you work on underfloor heating?

Yes. Wet underfloor heating manifolds, actuators, pumps and controls, and new underfloor installations for extensions, kitchens and bathrooms.

Are you Gas Safe registered as well?

Yes. Sharif is Gas Safe registered, fully insured and an approved installer for Worcester Bosch, Baxi and Ideal, so the boiler side of any heating job is covered too.

3 Steps to a Heating System That Works

From your message to every room warm, usually the same day. This is part of our gas engineer service in Walsall.

Tell Us the
Symptoms

WhatsApp or call with what’s happening: which rooms are cold, whether the boiler fires, any noises or error codes. That narrows it down before we arrive.

We Trace
the Fault

A Gas Safe registered heating engineer checks the boiler, pump, motorised valves, thermostat, programmer and radiators in order, finds the cause and gives you a fixed price before touching anything.

Fixed and
Balanced

Most central heating faults are fixed on the first visit with parts from the van. The system is refilled, bled and balanced so it runs as it should, and you’re shown what was wrong.
