Received this email looks like the previous companies that have been mentioned on the forum, just with another name.

Lots of money upfront for a contract possibly? Google brings up nothing for this company?..........................................................................................................................................................................................:90:





Due to our national contractual obligations and demands, we are now required to implement a gas company in the DN Postcode area to cover a 3 year Gas maintenance contract for our Clients.

We are looking for a gas company that can take on the following:

  • Gas Safety Certificates
  • Gas Installations
  • Gas Maintenance
  • Breakdown & Repair work
  • Full Void work
  • Bathroom Installations ( optional )
This work is guaranteed and we will be implementing only the one company to carry out the work on a 3 year contract basis. They will be required to work for both our National Property management contracts and also be responsible for carrying out the work for Property Management Companies, Student Accommodations, HMO, Building Contractors, National Lettings and Estate Agencies and Insurance Companies.


Gas and Electric services U.K. is one of the U.K’s fastest expanding companies that can cover all aspects of Gas, Electrical and Plumbing work. With our national network of companies providing these services we have secured some of the U.K’s most creditable contracts within both the property management sector and also from national blue chip companies, which in hand has helped us to be able to provide such maintenance contracts for the more dedicated local gas and electrical companies who can provide our clients a more professional local service.


Our Larger Clients require the most competent gas engineers to carry the work out, so it is our responsibility to determine from all the companies interested who will represent our company in the correct manner. We have a strict criteria that must be met by our engineers and various factors come into place when we implement a company to carry out the work.

In the past we had a system in which we would take a percentage on each job carried out for us, but unfortunately due to being let down by gas companies for our National contracts and the lack of commitment when carrying the work out, we now have to charge a fee for the contract. In some instances, gas companies had jeopardised our contracts, due to their unprofessional approach and their inability to create relationships with our clients.

To ensure profitability for our contractors the contract is 100% free to be considered for with a one off fee upon commencing the contract (fee listed below). The contract will run for a 3 year period.
Properties - 450 per annum (covering domestic gas maintenance and servicing and full void work on various properties)
Clients: Property Management, Private Landlords, Insurance Companies, National Estate/Letting agents, Student Accommodation, Building Companies which are contracted in using our services throughout the 3 year contract period. One off payment £1725 + vat.
If you would like to find out more regarding the contract or to express an interest please contact Terry Kirkwood on the number listed below or E-Mail over your contact details and a member of the team will contact you to discuss the contract further.
Kind Regards,

Re: Email alert

If they had that many properties wouldn't you think they'd already have the work covered? Looks dubldodge to me! I got the same one. i wonder where they're picking up our email addresses?
 
Re: Email alert

Same crowd different name, how do they get away with it, offering non existant goods by deception. I may go to scotland and call and see them next time i'm up north.

dont ever pay for these scams a ligit company would bill monthly for work supplied. not steal from people new to the buisness, I'm not sure if Gas Safe ( or Corgi ) has been selling our details to these low life's i suspect they have.
 
Re: Email alert

all our details are on th gassafe website so they probably trawl through it and get it that way as i doubt gassafe would be able flog our details on
 
Re: Email alert

Just looked at their website... it's a joke!
Why would you put Part P Electrical safety in massive font on every single page?
The whole site is extremely weak. Whoever it was used free templates (Joomla! 1.5) to build the site for nothing. Cheap!

Very dodgy, stay away!

Re: Email alert

Having just recieved the "want some work" e mail from Gas & Electric Contract Services UK, and upon checking the company I came across this forum. We then went to Companies House and found the the company is realy called GEC Contract Services Ltd and the company registration number SC402463 registered at Companies house on 27th June 2011 thats Monday this week, we downloaded the Incorporation document and it shows only 1 director a Mark Leeming he is also the company secretary he will be 43 in September this year. Just looked at the premise on Google maps street view,they (or Mark Leeming) is working from what appears to be a serviced office (you rent a space) so be warned

Re: Email alert

Hi again

Just a small up-date, somone mentioned G3E so being a ferret thought I would yet again check Companies House and quess what ?? a Mr Mark Leeming is a director of a company called Group 3 Energy Solutions Ltd who were at 99B West Main Street, Darvel, Scotland. They were incorporated on 15th Dec 2009 and the company registration number is SC370153 and the company is still live, all this information is in the public domain it's just searching for it.

Re: Email alert

I would suggest that this company is definately getting their information off the Gas Safe register as I have not recieved any emails, Yes I am on the register but unless you actually put my registration number in to check an engineer I will not appear on the register as I do not want people contacting me from the register. My reason as I have said before is I do not advertise and I do not need to advertise, also I hate cold call sales people contacting me.
I do not know if Gas Safe is selling their lists to these companies but I doubt it I suspect they are just trawling through the register. I do know however that Corgi sold their list as I asked a number of cold call companies where they got my number from
 
Re: Email alert

Two things , firstly ,Hello everyone :aureola:, secondly thanks Les for your background work on this little outfit.No engineer should ever be required to pay any money upfront which in itself should hopefully put 99% of Gas Safe Registered engineers off.

Welcome Toned.f.
Times are tough for a lot out there at moment, myself included. Unfortunately, there will be a lot out there that fall for these kind of scams when they are promising work.
As I said before, if it looks and sounds too good to be true, it usually is.
 
Re: Email alert

Hello all

The topic of how Gas Safe Register uses your information has come up a few times and we have addressed it in Registered Gas Engineer magazine, in engineer update emails and direct back to those who have actually come to us to check. For the avoidance of any doubt I will put this as clearly as I can:

Gas Safe Register has not, does not and will not use your registration information for commercial activity. It is expressly forbidden in our agreement with HSE and it forms part of the Rules of Registration all registered businesses sign up to. We have a declaration on the website which explicitly states our responsibilities under Data Protection regulations:


"Data provided and held by the scheme on registrants and their customers will be treated in confidence and used strictly for the correct and proper operation of the register.

It will not be sold or commercially exploited in any way."

You can find that paragraph about half way down this page:
[DLMURL="https://engineers.User PlumbersForums.net Instead - Copy the content, don't link to it.co.uk/Registration.aspx"]https://engineers.User PlumbersForums.net Instead - Copy the content, don't link to it.co.uk/Registration.aspx[/DLMURL]

I hope that clears things up.

Thank you Gas Safe PR for making it abundantly clear that you are not selling our information that to me is very comforting, is it still possible though that they could be gainning the information by merely looking on the website, I realise that this is not your fault and you may not be able to control this
