vs UK average
A gas engineer working in Northern Ireland typically charges £245–£395 a day (£31–£49 an hour), ex VAT — 18% below the UK average of £390 a day. The lowest labour rates in the UK — though materials often cost more once shipping is counted, so total job prices sit closer to the mainland than the labour figure suggests.
Boiler installation days earn substantially more than servicing days, so most gas engineers mix the two across the week. The legal requirement to be Gas Safe registered keeps supply constrained and rates resilient.
What moves a gas engineer's rate
- 01Gas Safe registration is a legal requirement — annual fees and assessments are carried in the rate
- 02Boiler installations versus servicing and landlord certificate (CP12) days
- 03Manufacturer accreditations (e.g. Worcester Bosch, Vaillant) that unlock longer warranties and justify higher pricing
- 04Diagnostic and warranty work paid at fixed job rates rather than day rates
