Question 1

How often should I have my boiler serviced?

Accepted Answer

We strongly recommend having your boiler serviced annually by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Regular servicing ensures your boiler operates safely and efficiently, helps prevent unexpected breakdowns, keeps your manufacturer's warranty valid, and can extend the lifespan of your boiler by several years. An annual service typically takes around 30-45 minutes and includes safety checks, efficiency testing and a visual inspection of key components.

Question 2

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 3

If I have added a new gas appliance since my last check, will it be included in the next CP12?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Any appliance added, removed or replaced since your last certificate is checked as part of the next annual inspection, so a new gas fire, cooker or boiler in your Brownside rental is brought into the current CP12.

Question 4

How do I book a landlord gas safety check for my Brownside rental?

Accepted Answer

Call 07880 240138 during our working hours, Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 5:00pm, and we will arrange a convenient time for your Brownside property. We can also note your renewal date so future checks are booked well ahead.

Question 5

Can I get a reminder before my certificate expires?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We can note your renewal date and get in touch ahead of time, so your certificate never lapses. It is one less thing for a busy landlord to track, and it keeps your rental property continuously compliant.

Question 6

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 7

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 8

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 9

Do you work with letting agents as well as private landlords in Brownside?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We regularly work directly with letting agents managing rental properties on behalf of landlords across Brownside, Nelson, Burnley and the wider Lancashire area, as well as with private landlords managing their own lets.

Question 10

Is my gas fire included in a Landlord Gas Safety Certificate?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A CP12 covers every gas appliance in a rental property, including gas fires, so if there is a gas fire in the let it is checked as part of the annual landlord certificate, alongside the boiler and any gas cooker or hob.
