Landlord Gas Safety Certificates in Altrincham, Trafford

So, what actually happens when one of our engineers knocks on your tenant's door? We do not just give the boiler a quick glance and sign a bit of paper. A proper safety check is thorough. We start with a tightness test to make sure there are no leaks in the pipework. Then, we look at every gas appliance in the property. Whether it is a boiler in the kitchen or a gas fire in the lounge, we check the burner pressure and the gas rate to ensure they are burning fuel at the safe, intended level. We also perform a flue flow test to confirm that dangerous fumes are actually leaving the building, and a spillage test to ensure nothing is leaking back into the rooms. It is all about those technical details, like checking the standing and working pressure, which might sound like jargon, but they are vital for your peace of mind. Most inspections in Altrincham take about an hour, meaning your tenants are not disrupted for long, and you get the proof you need that your property is compliant.

We know how it is—you have got enough paperwork to deal with as it is. That is why we have moved away from messy, handwritten pads. Once we have finished the inspection and everything is confirmed safe, we will send a professional digital PDF certificate straight to your inbox. You can easily forward this to your tenants or your letting agent in seconds. If we do find an issue—perhaps a cooker that has seen better days or a boiler that needs a bit of TLC—we will not just leave you in the lurch. We will explain exactly what is wrong in plain English and provide a transparent quote for the repairs. Because we also handle boiler repairs and general plumbing, we can often sort out the problem then and there, or return quickly to get the certificate passed. We aim for a fast turnaround because we know that sometimes, you need that CP12 sorted yesterday to get a new tenancy started.

We get asked a lot of questions by landlords in Altrincham, and the most common one is usually about what happens if a tenant won't grant access. While the law requires you to take 'all reasonable steps' to get the check done, we find that a friendly approach and clear communication usually solve the problem. Another common query is whether the CP12 covers the pipework—yes, it does. We check the gas pipework from the meter through to the appliances. Is your property also equipped with an unvented cylinder? While not part of the standard CP12, we are G3 compliant and can service those at the same time to save you a second call-out. Remember, the 12-month rule is strict. You can actually have the check done up to two months before the deadline without losing your original expiry date, which is a great way to stay ahead of the game. If you are unsure when your last check was or if you need to add a new appliance to your record, just ask. We are here to help you stay on the right side of the law.
