Question 1

What happens if I do not get an annual gas safety check?

Accepted Answer

Landlords who fail to arrange the annual check can face fines of up to 6,000 pounds per breach, and in serious cases prosecution or imprisonment. It also removes a key protection for your tenants safety, so an annual CP12 is not worth skipping.

Question 2

Do you offer emergency call-outs?

Accepted Answer

We operate Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 5:00pm, and do not offer emergency call-outs or weekend work. We do prioritise urgent boiler breakdowns and aim to attend as quickly as possible during our working hours. For a true gas emergency (smell of gas or suspected leak), contact the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999 immediately.

Question 3

How quickly do tenants need to receive a copy of the certificate?

Accepted Answer

You must provide a copy of the current gas safety record to existing tenants within 28 days of the check, and to new tenants before they move in. We issue the completed certificate promptly so you can meet this deadline comfortably.

Question 4

What should I do if I smell gas at my rental property in Balladen?

Accepted Answer

Leave the property, avoid switches and naked flames, and call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999 straight away. This is a separate emergency line to your annual Landlord Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) check and should always be reported immediately.

Question 5

Can you do the gas safety check if my tenant is not home?

Accepted Answer

Yes, in most cases. We can arrange access directly with you as the landlord, or via your letting agent, if the tenant is unavailable, provided suitable access arrangements are in place, and coordinate a convenient time that works for everyone.

Question 6

Do you keep records for landlords with multiple properties?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We keep records of the certificates we issue for at least the two years required, and can help landlords managing several properties stay on top of renewal dates across their portfolio so no let is ever left uncertified.

Question 7

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 8

What gets checked during a CP12 inspection?

Accepted Answer

Every gas appliance, plus the pipework, ventilation and flues. We inspect all gas appliances, including boilers, fires, cookers and hobs, carry out a gas tightness test, and confirm the flues are working safely, in line with Gas Safe requirements, before issuing the certificate.

Question 9

Do you offer free quotes and estimates?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we provide free, no-obligation surveys and fixed written quotes for boiler installations, central heating work, and most plumbing jobs, so you know the full cost before agreeing to any work.

Question 10

How can I check if an engineer is Gas Safe registered?

Accepted Answer

Every genuine Gas Safe registered engineer carries a Gas Safe ID card, and you can independently verify any engineer or business on the official Gas Safe Register website using their registration number. Our Register No. is 640113, and we are always happy for customers to check this themselves before any work begins.
