Question 1

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 2

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 3

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.

Question 4

Are you Gas Safe registered?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Spencer Jordan Plumbing and Heating is a Gas Safe registered engineer, Register No. 640113, which you can verify independently on the official Gas Safe Register before any work begins in Little Town.

Question 5

Which boiler brands do you install and recommend?

Accepted Answer

As a Baxi Approved Installer, we specialise in Baxi boilers and can offer extended warranties of up to 10 years. Baxi produce highly reliable, energy-efficient boilers with excellent value for money. We can also install other leading brands such as Worcester Bosch and Vaillant if required, and will recommend the best boiler for your home based on your property size, hot water demands, and budget rather than pushing a single brand.

Question 6

What is an unvented hot water cylinder?

Accepted Answer

An unvented cylinder stores hot water at mains pressure without needing a cold water tank in the loft, giving strong, consistent pressure at every tap. We are qualified to install and service unvented cylinders safely, which by law requires specific certified training.

Question 7

How do I book a plumbing repair in Little Town?

Accepted Answer

Call us on 07880 240138 during our working hours, Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 5:00pm, and we will arrange a visit to assess the job and agree a fixed price.

Question 8

Do you offer emergency call-outs?

Accepted Answer

We operate Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 5:00pm, and do not offer emergency call-outs or weekend work. We do prioritise urgent boiler breakdowns and aim to attend as quickly as possible during our working hours. For a true gas emergency (smell of gas or suspected leak), contact the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999 immediately.

Question 9

Will you explain the work before you start?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We explain what we are doing and why before we begin any plumbing repair, and give you a fixed price for the job first, so you understand both the fault and the fix rather than being handed a surprise bill afterwards.

Question 10

What is the difference between a vented and an unvented cylinder?

Accepted Answer

A vented cylinder relies on a cold water tank in the loft, while an unvented cylinder stores water at mains pressure without one, giving stronger and more consistent pressure at every tap. We are qualified to install and service unvented systems.
