Question 1

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 2

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 3

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

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 Spring Hill and the wider Lancashire area.

Question 5

How do I book a landlord gas safety check for my Spring Hill rental?

Accepted Answer

Call 07880 240138 during our working hours, Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 5:00pm, and we will arrange a convenient time for your Spring Hill property. We can also note your renewal date so future checks are booked well ahead.

Question 6

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 7

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 8

Which areas do you cover for landlord gas safety checks?

Accepted Answer

We carry out CP12 inspections for landlords and letting agents across Spring Hill and the wider Lancashire area, including Colne, Nelson, Burnley and the surrounding Pendle and Ribble Valley area. Call us with your rental address to confirm we cover it.

Question 9

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 10

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.
