Question 1

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

Question 2

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 3

What types of boiler can you install, combi, system, or conventional?

Accepted Answer

We install all three types: combi boilers (heating water on demand with no separate cylinder), system boilers (working with a hot water cylinder), and conventional heat-only boilers (working with a cylinder and cold water tank). We will recommend the right type for your property during a free survey.

Question 4

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 5

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 6

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

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 Tunstead and the wider Lancashire area.

Question 7

What should I do if I smell gas near my cooker?

Accepted Answer

Turn off the gas supply at the meter if safe to do so, ventilate the room by opening windows and doors, and avoid naked flames or electrical switches. Call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999 if you suspect a leak, then contact us afterwards during working hours for any repair.

Question 8

Can you install a range cooker in Tunstead?

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 9

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 10

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.
