Question 1

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 2

How can I check your Gas Safe registration in Helmcroft?

Accepted Answer

You can verify our registration independently on the official Gas Safe Register using our Register No. 640113. We would always encourage checking this before any gas work begins, in Helmcroft or anywhere else.

Question 3

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 4

Do you work on both domestic and rental properties in Helmcroft?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We carry out plumbing repairs and installations for homeowners and for landlords managing rental properties across Helmcroft and the surrounding Lancashire area, on the same honest, fixed-price basis.

Question 5

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.

Question 6

Do you offer a fixed price for plumbing repairs?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Wherever possible we provide a fixed price once we have seen or understood the job, rather than an open-ended hourly rate, so you know the cost upfront before any work begins.

Question 7

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 8

Can you fit new taps, sinks or toilets?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We install replacement taps, sinks, toilets and associated pipework as part of general plumbing work, whether that is a straightforward swap or part of a wider bathroom or kitchen update in your Helmcroft home.

Question 9

Do you fix leaking taps and toilets in Helmcroft?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Dripping taps, running toilets and general leak repairs are some of the most common jobs we handle in Helmcroft. Most are straightforward and can be fixed in a single visit, and we agree a fixed price before we start.

Question 10

How do I know if I have a hidden water leak?

Accepted Answer

Warning signs include an unexpectedly high water bill, damp patches on walls, ceilings or flooring, a musty smell, or your water meter still ticking over when everything is turned off. If you suspect a hidden leak, get it checked promptly to limit damage.
