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

Is it actually illegal to fit my own gas hob?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Fitting your own gas appliance is against the law, not just inadvisable. Every gas cooker or hob installation must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer, and our Register No. 640113 can be verified independently before work begins.

Question 3

Can you move a gas cooker point to a new position in my kitchen?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We can reroute the gas supply pipework to reposition a cooker point as part of a kitchen redesign, always finishing with a full tightness test on the new connection so the relocated point is confirmed safe before you use it.

Question 4

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.

Question 5

How often should I have my boiler serviced?

Accepted Answer

We strongly recommend having your boiler serviced annually by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Regular servicing ensures your boiler operates safely and efficiently, helps prevent unexpected breakdowns, keeps your manufacturer's warranty valid, and can extend the lifespan of your boiler by several years. An annual service typically takes around 30-45 minutes and includes safety checks, efficiency testing and a visual inspection of key components.

Question 6

Will you check my existing gas cooker connection even if I am not replacing the appliance?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If you are unsure whether an existing connection was fitted correctly, we can inspect it and carry out a tightness test as part of a visit, giving you a clear answer rather than leaving it in doubt.

Question 7

Do you offer emergency call-outs for cooker installation in Roughlee?

Accepted Answer

No, we do not offer emergency call-outs or weekend work. We operate Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 5:00pm. If you ever smell gas, treat it as an emergency and call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999 immediately, then contact us for any repair.

Question 8

Do you fit both freestanding cookers and built-in hobs?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We install freestanding gas cookers, built-in gas hobs and range cookers, connecting them safely and testing thoroughly regardless of the appliance type. Tell us the make and model and we will confirm the right connection method.

Question 9

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

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 Roughlee and the wider Lancashire area.

Question 10

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.
