Question 1

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 2

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 Love Clough rental is brought into the current CP12.

Question 3

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

Accepted Answer

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

Question 4

Do I legally need a Landlord Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) in Love Clough?

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

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.

Question 6

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 7

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 Love Clough rental within those hours and well ahead of the renewal date.

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

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 10

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.
