Question 1

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 2

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 3

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

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 4

Do I legally need a Landlord Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) in Hole House?

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 5

Which boiler brands do you install and recommend?

Accepted Answer

As a Baxi Approved Installer, we specialise in Baxi boilers and can offer extended warranties of up to 10 years. Baxi produce highly reliable, energy-efficient boilers with excellent value for money. We can also install other leading brands such as Worcester Bosch and Vaillant if required, and will recommend the best boiler for your home based on your property size, hot water demands, and budget rather than pushing a single brand.

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

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

Accepted Answer

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

Question 8

What are your working hours for booking a landlord gas safety check?

Accepted Answer

We work Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 5:00pm, with no emergency call-outs or weekend appointments. It is worth booking your annual CP12 check for your Hole House rental within those hours and well ahead of the renewal date.

Question 9

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 Hole House rental is brought into the current CP12.

Question 10

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.
