Question 1

What areas do you cover from Colne?

Accepted Answer

We are based in Colne (BB8) and cover Burnley and the Pendle area, plus surrounding towns and villages within around 10 miles, including Trawden, Barnoldswick, Nelson, Barrowford, Foulridge and Skipton. If you are not sure whether we cover your area, give us a call and we will let you know.

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

Do landlords in Pleckgate need a new safety check every time a gas cooker is installed?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every installation is followed by a safety and tightness test, and for a rented property in Pleckgate this feeds into the annual Landlord Gas Safety Certificate (CP12), keeping the tenancy compliant going forward.

Question 4

How long does a boiler installation typically take?

Accepted Answer

A straightforward like-for-like combi boiler swap usually takes one working day. Converting from a conventional or system boiler to a combi, or fitting a new unvented cylinder alongside the installation, can take one to two days depending on the pipework involved. We confirm the expected timescale in your written quote.

Question 5

Can you install a range cooker in Pleckgate?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Alongside freestanding gas cookers and built-in hobs, we install range cookers as well, connecting each appliance safely and finishing with a full gas tightness test regardless of size or configuration.

Question 6

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 7

Do I need to be present while you fit the cooker or hob?

Accepted Answer

It helps if you, or someone who can make decisions about the appliance, is available at the start and end of the visit. We will talk you through what has been done and confirm the tightness test result before we leave.

Question 8

Do you provide any documentation after installation?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We confirm the installation has passed its safety and tightness test, and if the appliance is in a rental property this forms part of the annual Landlord Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) going forward, keeping the rental compliant.

Question 9

Can I fit my own gas cooker or hob in Pleckgate?

Accepted Answer

No. By law, any gas appliance including cookers and hobs must be installed by a Gas Safe registered engineer. This is both a legal requirement and a genuine safety matter, since an incorrectly connected gas appliance can be dangerous. We cover Pleckgate and the wider Lancashire area.

Question 10

Is a flexible gas hose safe for connecting a cooker?

Accepted Answer

A certified flexible connector, correctly rated and fitted by a Gas Safe registered engineer, is a standard and safe way to connect many cookers. We use the appropriate connection method for your specific appliance and kitchen layout.
