Question 1

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 2

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

Accepted Answer

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

Question 3

How do I book a landlord gas safety check for my Wilpshire 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 Wilpshire property. We can also note your renewal date so future checks are booked well ahead.

Question 4

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 5

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 6

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 Wilpshire rental is brought into the current CP12.

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

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 9

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 10

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.
