Question 1

What should I do if I smell gas in my home?

Accepted Answer

If you smell gas or suspect a leak, you should immediately open doors and windows to ventilate the area, turn off the gas supply at the meter (if safe to do so), avoid using any electrical switches, naked flames, or phones inside the property, leave the property, and call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999 immediately. Once the emergency has been handled, contact us during working hours for any follow-up repair work.

Question 2

Do I legally need a Landlord Gas Safety Certificate (CP12)?

Accepted Answer

Yes, if you are a landlord renting out a property with gas appliances in England and Wales, you are legally required to have a Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) issued annually by a Gas Safe registered engineer. This applies to all gas boilers, gas fires, gas cookers, and any other gas appliances. Failure to comply can result in fines of up to 6,000, pounds prosecution, and even imprisonment. We provide prompt certificates for landlords and letting agents across Colne and the surrounding Lancashire area.

Question 3

When can you carry out the installation?

Accepted Answer

We work Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 5:00pm, and do not offer weekend or emergency call-out work. Once your quote is agreed we book the installation for the next suitable slot and confirm the date and timescale with you in advance.

Question 4

Can you install a boiler in a rented property for a landlord in Long Ing?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we regularly work with landlords across Long Ing and the wider Lancashire area. Alongside installation we can carry out the annual Landlord Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) once the new boiler is in place, keeping your rental property compliant from day one.

Question 5

Should I repair my old boiler or replace it?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the boiler age, the cost of the specific repair, and how often it has broken down before. We give an honest recommendation based on your situation rather than defaulting to the more expensive option, and can quote for both so you can decide.

Question 6

How long has Spencer Jordan Plumbing and Heating been trading?

Accepted Answer

We were founded in 2014, giving us over 10 years of experience installing boilers across Long Ing and the wider Lancashire area. That experience feeds directly into the honest, no-pressure survey every customer receives.

Question 7

Are your prices fixed or do you charge by the hour?

Accepted Answer

Wherever possible we provide a fixed, written quote before work begins, covering installations, servicing and most plumbing jobs, so there are no surprises on the day. This is confirmed after a free survey or an honest phone conversation about the job.

Question 8

Do you offer free quotes and estimates?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we provide free, no-obligation surveys and fixed written quotes for boiler installations, central heating work, and most plumbing jobs, so you know the full cost before agreeing to any work.

Question 9

How long does a boiler installation take in Long Ing?

Accepted Answer

A straightforward like-for-like combi swap usually takes one working day. Converting from a conventional or system boiler to a combi can take one to two days depending on the pipework. We confirm the expected timescale in your written quote before any work is booked.

Question 10

Will a new boiler reduce my energy bills?

Accepted Answer

A modern A-rated boiler is significantly more efficient than an older G or E-rated unit and can meaningfully reduce heating costs, especially if your current boiler is over 15 years old. The exact saving depends on your system, insulation and usage, so we avoid quoting a guaranteed figure.
