Question 1

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 2

What are TRVs and why would I want them?

Accepted Answer

Thermostatic radiator valves let you set an individual temperature for each radiator, so you are not heating rooms you rarely use to the same level as the rest of the house. They are a simple, low-cost way to improve comfort and control running costs.

Question 3

Why are my radiators cold at the bottom but hot at the top?

Accepted Answer

This usually means sludge or debris has settled at the bottom of the radiator, restricting water flow. A powerflush is typically the right fix rather than repeatedly bleeding it, which will not clear a sludge build-up.

Question 4

Which boiler brands do you install and recommend?

Accepted Answer

As a Baxi Approved Installer, we specialise in Baxi boilers and can offer extended warranties of up to 10 years. Baxi produce highly reliable, energy-efficient boilers with excellent value for money. We can also install other leading brands such as Worcester Bosch and Vaillant if required, and will recommend the best boiler for your home based on your property size, hot water demands, and budget rather than pushing a single brand.

Question 5

Is a central heating check the same as a boiler service?

Accepted Answer

No. A boiler service covers the boiler itself, while a central heating check looks at radiators, valves, pipework and the existing filter across the whole system. We can assess both together so nothing in the system gets missed.

Question 6

Do you cover central heating repairs across Foxhill Bank?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Spencer Jordan Plumbing and Heating covers central heating installation, repair and maintenance across Foxhill Bank and the wider Lancashire area. We work Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 5:00pm, and prioritise urgent heating problems during working hours.

Question 7

How much can I save by upgrading to a new boiler?

Accepted Answer

Upgrading from an old, inefficient boiler to a modern A-rated condensing boiler can save you hundreds of pounds a year on your energy bills, depending on your current boiler's age and efficiency. We will give you an honest estimate of the likely savings for your specific property during a free survey, rather than a generic figure.

Question 8

Do you fit smart thermostats or heating controls?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We fit and set up modern heating controls and smart thermostats compatible with your boiler, giving you better room-by-room control and scheduling. It is a straightforward upgrade that helps you manage comfort and running costs more precisely.

Question 9

What happens during a central heating system check?

Accepted Answer

We assess your radiators, valves, pipework and existing filter to find exactly where heat is being lost before recommending anything. Once we know what the system needs, we give you a fixed quote, so you know the full cost before any work begins.

Question 10

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.
