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 I legally need a Landlord Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) in Barnfield?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If you rent out a property with gas appliances in England and Wales, you are legally required to hold a Gas Safety Certificate (CP12), issued annually by a Gas Safe registered engineer. This covers all gas boilers, fires, cookers and other gas appliances in the property.

Question 3

Is a Landlord Gas Safety Certificate the same as a boiler service?

Accepted Answer

No. A CP12 is a legal annual safety check covering every gas appliance, pipework and flue in the property, while a boiler service looks only at the boiler. Landlords need a current CP12 regardless of any separate boiler service.

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 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.

Question 6

When should I book my landlord gas safety check?

Accepted Answer

Book a few weeks before your current certificate expires, or as soon as a new gas-fitted rental or a new tenancy starts. We operate Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 5:00pm, and will arrange a convenient time for you or your tenant.

Question 7

Which areas do you cover for landlord gas safety checks?

Accepted Answer

We carry out CP12 inspections for landlords and letting agents across Barnfield and the wider Lancashire area, including Colne, Nelson, Burnley and the surrounding Pendle and Ribble Valley area. Call us with your rental address to confirm we cover it.

Question 8

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 9

Are you Gas Safe registered, and can I check before booking in Barnfield?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can verify us independently on the official Gas Safe Register using our Register No. 640113 before any work begins in Barnfield. Every Gas Safe registered engineer carries a unique ID card, and we are always happy for landlords to check first.

Question 10

What if an appliance fails the safety check?

Accepted Answer

We make it safe and set out your options. If an appliance is found to be unsafe, we explain the issue clearly, isolate it if required for safety, and advise on repair or replacement so the property can be brought back into compliance.
