Question 1

What areas do you cover from Colne?

Accepted Answer

We are based in Colne (BB8) and cover Burnley and the Pendle area, plus surrounding towns and villages within around 10 miles, including Trawden, Barnoldswick, Nelson, Barrowford, Foulridge and Skipton. If you are not sure whether we cover your area, give us a call and we will let you know.

Question 2

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

Accepted Answer

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

Question 3

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 4

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 5

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.

Question 6

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 7

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 8

What should I do if I smell gas at my rental property in Pickup Bank?

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 9

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 10

Do I legally need a Landlord Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) in Pickup Bank?

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.
