Question 1

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 2

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 3

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

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 Sherfin and the wider Lancashire area.

Question 4

How long does it take to install a gas cooker or hob?

Accepted Answer

A straightforward like-for-like installation typically takes around 30 to 60 minutes, including the safety tightness test. If new pipework is needed, this can take longer, which we will confirm before starting rather than surprising you on the day.

Question 5

What happens if you find a gas leak during the tightness test?

Accepted Answer

We will not leave the appliance connected until the leak is fixed. The tightness test is designed to catch exactly this before you ever use the cooker, and we address any fault found before signing the job off as safe.

Question 6

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 7

Do landlords in Sherfin 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 Sherfin this feeds into the annual Landlord Gas Safety Certificate (CP12), keeping the tenancy compliant going forward.

Question 8

Do you install dual fuel cookers with a gas hob and electric oven?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We connect the gas side of a dual fuel cooker, whether freestanding or a range cooker, to current safety standards and carry out the same full tightness test as any other gas cooker installation.

Question 9

What is a gas tightness test and why does it matter?

Accepted Answer

A tightness test checks the entire gas connection for any leaks after the appliance is fitted, using a pressure gauge. It is a mandatory safety check we carry out on every installation, giving you confidence the connection behind your cooker or hob is safe.

Question 10

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.
