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

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

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

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

Do you disconnect old gas cookers as well as fit new ones?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We can safely disconnect and cap off an old gas cooker or hob as part of the same visit when fitting a replacement, or on its own if you are switching to electric. Everything is left tidy and properly made safe.

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

Can I fit my own gas cooker or hob in Whalley Banks?

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 Whalley Banks and the wider Lancashire area.

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

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 10

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.
