Landlord Gas Safety Certificates in Bollington, Cheshire East

Have you checked the expiry date on your last CP12 lately? Under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, landlords are required to have an annual gas safety check carried out every twelve months. It’s easy for these dates to creep up on you, but missing one can lead to heavy fines or even invalidate your insurance. We don't just 'glance' at your boiler; we carry out a rigorous assessment of every gas appliance in the property. From the kitchen hob to the gas fire in the lounge, we make sure everything is burning safely and efficiently. Once we’re done, we’ll issue a digital Landlord Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) that you can store on your phone or forward straight to your letting agent.

You might wonder what actually goes on when we visit your property. We don't just turn up and sign a form; we perform a series of technical checks designed to spot problems before they become dangerous. First, we'll carry out a 'Tightness Test' on the whole system to ensure there aren't any hidden gas leaks. We also perform a 'Flue Flow Test' to make sure carbon monoxide and other fumes are exiting the building correctly rather than lingering inside. We check the 'Burner Pressure' and 'Gas Rate' to ensure appliances aren't working too hard or wasting fuel, and we conduct 'Spillage Tests' to confirm no combustion products are escaping into the rooms. It’s a comprehensive MOT for your property’s gas system.

Why choose a local Bollington team instead of a massive national firm? For starters, we actually care about our reputation in the Cheshire East community. We also know that speed is vital, especially when a new tenancy is about to start. Because we're based right here, we can often fit you in quickly and we won't leave you hanging. For your total peace of mind, we carry #10 million in public liability insurance. It’s the kind of professional protection you’d expect from a large corporation, but with the friendly, one-to-one service of a local specialist. Plus, with our transparent pricing, you’ll never have to worry about hidden fees or 'surprise' costs at the end of the job.

Most of our Bollington landlords find it much easier to book their annual boiler service at the same time as their CP12 inspection. It makes perfect sense—we’re already there, the tools are out, and it saves you having to arrange two separate visits with your tenants. While the safety certificate proves the appliance is safe to use, a service ensures it stays reliable throughout the winter. It's a great way to prevent those 2 a.m. phone calls about a broken boiler and no hot water. If we do spot a minor issue while we’re performing the check, we’ll let you know immediately and provide an honest quote to get it sorted, often right then and there.
