Question 1

Should I keep a copy of the certificate myself as well as giving one to my tenant?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is worth keeping your own copy alongside making sure the tenant receives theirs within 28 days of the check. We also keep a record of every certificate we issue for at least two years as a further safeguard.

Question 2

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 3

How experienced is Spencer Jordan Plumbing and Heating with landlord gas safety checks?

Accepted Answer

Spencer Jordan Plumbing and Heating was founded in 2014 and has more than 10 years of experience as a Gas Safe registered engineer, including landlord gas safety checks for rental properties across Clayton LE Dale and the wider Lancashire area.

Question 4

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 5

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 6

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 7

Do I legally need a Landlord Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) in Clayton LE Dale?

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 8

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 9

How long is a CP12 certificate valid for?

Accepted Answer

A Landlord Gas Safety Certificate is valid for 12 months from the date of the check. We recommend booking your next check a few weeks before it expires to avoid any gap in compliance between one certificate and the next.

Question 10

What should I do if I smell gas in my home?

Accepted Answer

If you smell gas or suspect a leak, you should immediately open doors and windows to ventilate the area, turn off the gas supply at the meter (if safe to do so), avoid using any electrical switches, naked flames, or phones inside the property, leave the property, and call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999 immediately. Once the emergency has been handled, contact us during working hours for any follow-up repair work.
