Question 1

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 Sawley rental is brought into the current CP12.

Question 2

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.

Question 3

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 4

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

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 5

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 6

What gets checked during a CP12 inspection?

Accepted Answer

Every gas appliance, plus the pipework, ventilation and flues. We inspect all gas appliances, including boilers, fires, cookers and hobs, carry out a gas tightness test, and confirm the flues are working safely, in line with Gas Safe requirements, before issuing the certificate.

Question 7

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 8

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 9

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

Question 10

Is a Landlord Gas Safety Certificate the same as a boiler service?

Accepted Answer

No. A CP12 is a legal annual safety check covering every gas appliance, pipework and flue in the property, while a boiler service looks only at the boiler. Landlords need a current CP12 regardless of any separate boiler service.
